The federal government issued the last Stimulus Check in March 2021 in response to the outbreak. Yet, in 2023, a few countries will continue to give Stimulus Checks to individuals. In fact, certain New Jersey and Alaska taxpayers will get Stimulus Checks totaling more than $1,000 this spring.

The following are some of the program’s highlights:

Alaska: Permanent Fund Dividend Stimulus Check

This year, the compensation per successful application will be $3,284, which is a greater total than usual due to an additional $662.19 energy relief benefit. The energy-relief component of the dividend is tax-free.

Alaska residents have until March 31 to submit applications. Being a state resident and remaining out of jail throughout the whole calendar year are two conditions, among others. On April 20 and May 18, the following reimbursements will be made. Benefits will be distributed based on when a request is submitted and evaluated.

New Jersey ANCHOR Property Tax Relief:

The ANCHOR Property Tax Relief program, which replaces the Homestead Benefit, was created to offset years of property tax rises. Applicants must have owned or rented their primary residence as of October 19, 2019, and they must file state income taxes in New Jersey unless they qualify for an exemption.

Moreover, they must meet the following yearly income requirements:

  • Homeowners will receive $1,500 for homes worth up to $150,000 and $1,000 for homes worth between $150,000 and $250,000. 
  • Renters will receive $450 up to $150,000

Utilize your money prudently, whether it comes through a stimulus payment, a tax return, an inheritance, a job bonus, or any other source. Despite the desire to squander your newly earned riches on anything frivolous or extravagant, your future self will thank you for using all (or the bulk of) this money to better your finances.
