Maine
Most $850 relief checks have now gone out to Mainers
Practically 70% of the Maine residents anticipated to be eligible for inflation aid funds have both obtained them or will shortly, in response to Gov. Janet Mills’ price range workplace.
A spokesperson for the state price range workplace mentioned greater than 600,000 checks have been mailed as of July 1, and that almost all eligible residents which have filed tax returns can count on to obtain their $850 cost by mid- to late-July.
That estimate is in keeping with the governor’s aim of expediting the funds, which she has framed as a manner to assist Maine residents take care of the hovering value of fuel, groceries and different items.
The Legislature this spring gave broad bipartisan assist to the governor’s proposal, which diverts roughly 60% of the state’s anticipated price range surplus again to taxpayers.
Residents who haven’t filed a tax return this yr should accomplish that by Oct. 31 to obtain their cost.
