The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance has started mailing out additional financial relief to about 1.8 million eligible residents.
The checks are going to individuals who received the Earned Income Credit or the Empire State Child Credit, or both, on their 2021 state tax returns. The average amount of these payments is going to be about $ 270 for each recipient. Most of the checks should arrive by the end of the month.
