POWER Rebate Checks Arriving This Week In New York State

This week you have a very good reason to check your mailbox. There could be a check waiting for you. New York State has started sending its "POWER" rebate checks to residents, and they should start arriving in mailboxes today.

POWER Rebate Check Coming To New Yorkers

Last week, New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced that the state would start sending out rebate checks to over 8 million residents to help fight the rising costs of utilities across the state.

8.2 million households across New York State will start to get those rebate checks starting today. The checks will be mailed directly to eligible New Yorkers, with all the checks expected to be mailed out by the end of December.

"POWER" checks will provide $200 to joint filers with incomes under $150,000 and $150 to joint filers with incomes between $150,000 and $300,000. Single filers with incomes under $150,000 will receive $100
