2. Set Up Direct Deposit

Most states prioritize direct deposit payments, which arrive faster and more securely than paper checks.

3. Check Your State’s Relief Portal

Visit your state’s official Department of Revenue or Treasury website for relief updates. For example:

• California: Franchise Tax Board
• New York: State Department of Taxation and Finance
• Texas: Comptroller of Public Accounts

Most recipients will be notified automatically when their payment is processed. Avoid unsolicited calls or links claiming to “unlock” your stimulus.

Economists argue that, collectively, these smaller checks can play a major role in stimulating local economies — particularly in states with high inflation-adjusted living costs.

“This isn’t just about relief — it’s about restoring dignity and confidence to those who’ve been left behind by uneven recovery,”
— Anthony Rizzo, Director, National Fiscal Responsibility Council

File your taxes, verify your details, and stay alert to official notices — your $1,000 boost could be just weeks away.
