There are millions of residents who can soon expect even more stimulus cash worth up $1,000 across four different states.
This is thanks to tax laws surrounding budget surpluses.
When the budget has excess funding, often times that surplus will go back to the taxpayer in the form of tax refunds.
Many payments will automatically be distributed to individuals by check or direct deposit.

California
With a budget surplus of over $45.7 billion dollars, Governor Gavin Newsom plans to send much of that money back to residents.

Newsom called this payment an additional rebate to the taxpayers.
Florida
Teachers will be thanked for their dedication and hard work in the form of a stimulus payment.

The last time this refund was sent was 2013.
