Those paying taxes in Virginia may be lucky enough to soon see tax refund payments worth $600.
This will be a one time payment in the form of a tax rebate.
The proposal has not yet passed, but is supported by Virginia state governor Glenn Youngkin.
The goal is to help residents that need it the most due to the higher cost of living plaguing the nation.
The Virginia General Assembly is expected to pass the bill, but they need to agree on the amount and when it will go out.
