Stimulus Checks 2022: Rhode Island residents can now claim up to $750; Are you eligible?

The Biden Administration is still working on relieving people suffering from the pandemic. On October 3, child tax rebates worth $250 per kid started to head to families across Rhode Island.

Governor Dan McKee revealed that the benefit is capped at three kids.

Around 115,000 families in the state are expected to receive the tax credit as payments are sent out over several weeks.

McKee said: “The Child Tax Rebate Program allows us to distribute over $40 million in direct support specifically to middle and lower-income families with children.

“We know costs are rising nationwide, and that’s why Rhode Island is continuing to step up and provide relief on utility prices, small business taxes, and everyday costs.”

Residents of Rhode Island can now claim up to $750 for three children and $250 for each child under a new plan initiated this month. Check eligibility here.

A recent effort, which started to be implemented in late August, enables qualified Connecticut families to get a tax credit of up to $250 per child, up to a limit of three children.

An income-based program called the Empire Child Tax Credit helps eligible families in New York.

Families eligible for this credit must have children at least four years old and under the age of 17.

Parents should expect these payments by the end of this month.
