Maine residents have under two weeks to claim up to $850 in COVID-19 relief, thanks to a state budget surplus.
The stimulus payments are being sent out to offer financial assistance to reduce economic strains related to the pandemic and increasing inflation. Around 858,000 residents will be eligible to claim their relief checks if they file by the end of October.
To qualify for this payment, applicants must have been Maine residents for a full year and have filed their 2021 state tax returns by Oct. 31. Additionally, applicants must make less than $100,000 annually if filing individually, $150,000 if filing as the head of a household, or $200,000 if filing jointly, according to the governor’s office.For joint filers, both will be given an $850 check if their tax return meets the eligibility criteria for a relief payment.
Relief checks will be mailed through the U.S. Postal Service to the address provided on the filer's 2021 Maine income tax return, which will then be redirected to any forwarding addresses filed with the Postal Service.
