Over 920K in the Hudson Valley are eligible

More than 8 million New York state residents and 924,000 in the Hudson Valley will begin receiving "inflation refund" checks ranging from $150 to $400, Gov. Kathy Hochul said on Friday (Sept. 25).

Automatic payments have started going out to people who filed taxes as a New York resident for 2023 and were not claimed by someone else as a dependent, said Hochul, with payouts continuing through November. "This is your money and we're putting it back in your pockets," she said.

The amount a person receives depends on filing status and income.

Joint filers with incomes up to $150,000 will receive $400.

Joint filers with incomes between $150,001 and $300,000 are eligible for $300 checks.

Single filers with incomes up to $75,000 will receive $200.

Single filers with incomes over $75,000 are eligible for $150.
