Stimulus payments have become increasingly common among states as the federal government pulls back on stimulus aid for Americans.
The last federal stimulus check was issued in March of 2021, and since then, inflation has rapidly increased.
As a way to help residents struggling financially, states have started to issue their own types of checks.
