Residents of Maine have three days left to assert as much as $850 in COVID-19 aid as a result of a surplus within the state’s funds.

“What this funds reveals as soon as once more, via exhausting work and good religion negotiation, Democrats, Republicans, and independents can come collectively to do what is true for Maine folks,” Gov. Janet Mills (D) stated. “And that we are able to achieve this with out rancor or bitter partisanship that has typically divided Augusta up to now.”
The governor authorized the distribution of the checks in April, with the whole value of the stimulus funds estimated to be round $729.3 million.
To qualify, candidates should have lived within the Pine Tree State for a full 12 months and file their 2021 state tax returns by Oct. 31.
