How to check your eligibility

Each program operates separately from federal stimulus programs and has different deadlines, income thresholds, and payment methods. To avoid scams and misinformation:

Visit your state’s Department of Revenue website
Use secure portals to check your refund status
File 2023 taxes promptly if you haven’t already

Don’t confuse these with federal stimulus checks
