Many Americans got rebates, tax refunds, one-time stimulus payment, or other kinds of stimulus funding last year in about half the states in the US. However, several states still need to disburse funds from programs from the previous year, and a few are still taking applications or accepting acceptable tax returns.

Some states still have scheduled stimulus money until 2023. However, some are still taking applications or qualifying income tax returns, while others are delivering unpaid benefits to citizens who submitted applications before deadlines that have since passed.

Applications for ANCHOR property tax reduction had to be submitted by February 28 for eligible New Jersey residents. Residents of New Mexico who don’t regularly file tax returns are still eligible for $500 or $1,000 in rebates.
