STAR Rebate Checks Issued Across New York State

Most New Yorkers should have already received their STAR rebate checks in the mail or through their direct deposit. New York State started to issue the checks at the beginning of September, and they should have all arrived by now.

What Is The STAR Rebate Check?

STAR stands for the "School Tax Relief" program. It is a program that helps reduce property taxes for certain homeowners in New York State. The rebate is applied after you have paid your taxes, which is why New York State will issue a check to you.

How Much Will My STAR Rebate Check Be?

The amount you get back depends on several factors, including school district, household income, and your age.

STAR Rebate checks come in two forms.

Most homeowners eligible for Basic STAR credit: Receive a check between $350 and $600.
Most seniors eligible for Enhanced STAR credit: Receive a check between $700 and $1,500.
