Some families could be getting up to $700 back from the state over the next two months. But critics say the rebate – during an election year – is suspect.
-- Gov. JB Pritzker and state lawmakers are describing a one-time state rebate program that begins this week as more money in your pocket.
"These rebate payments are just one in a series of actions that we're taking to provide some financial cushion in these times," Pritzker said.There are two different rebates – an income tax rebate and a homeowner's rebate. The breakdown is as follows – those who filed a 2021 income tax return will get $100 per dependent for up to three dependents, and they will also get $50 per adult."We know it's not a lot, but every little bit helps," said Illinois state Rep.
In April, state lawmakers voted in favor of handing out the rebates. Mendoza's spokesperson said no federal stimulus funds are being used to pay taxpayers back – it is all due to a surplus that has come about in part because state revenues far exceeded state projections.
