The Disaster Relief Payment Program allowed the State Tax Assessor access to find the individuals entitled to the payments before settling on the amount to send them not exceeding $300.
After finding how many residents qualified, the tax assessor then divided the $149.8 million set aside between the 524,754 residents.
