According to a press release from the Governor, the proposed budget has earmarked $2 billion dollars that will be used to send out inflation refund checks. More than 8 million New York residents will be eligible for the refund, with checks up to $400 per family set to be issued by the end of the year.

If you file as a single and make less than $150,000, you will be eligible for a rebate check. If you file your taxes jointly and make less than $300,000, you will be eligible for a refund check.
