The U.S. government has issued several rounds of Economic Impact Payments (stimulus checks) to help Americans during economic challenges. Here's an overview of the major federal stimulus programs:
The first round of stimulus payments provided up to $1,200 per eligible adult and $500 per qualifying child. Eligibility was based on adjusted gross income (AGI), with payments phasing out for individuals earning over $75,000 and couples earning over $150,000.
The second stimulus payment provided up to $600 per eligible adult and $600 per qualifying child. Similar income thresholds applied, with payments distributed through early 2021.
The third and largest stimulus payment provided up to $1,400 per eligible individual, including dependents of any age. This round also expanded eligibility to include adult dependents. The total stimulus provided across all three rounds was up to $3,200 per eligible adult.
Important: If you were eligible for stimulus payments but didn't receive them, you may be able to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on your tax return. Consult with a tax professional or visit IRS.gov for more information.
Many states have implemented their own stimulus and rebate programs to help residents. These programs vary by state and may include:
Several states have issued one-time payments to help residents cope with rising costs. These payments range from $200 to $1,050 depending on the state and eligibility criteria.
Many states offer property tax relief programs for homeowners, particularly seniors, veterans, and low-income residents. These rebates can significantly reduce your annual property tax burden.
Some states have suspended or reduced gas taxes, or provided direct rebates to help offset fuel costs. Check your state's current programs for available relief.
State and federal programs like LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program) provide assistance with heating and cooling costs for eligible households.

Beyond direct stimulus payments, several tax credits can provide significant financial relief:
A refundable tax credit for low to moderate-income workers. The credit amount depends on income, filing status, and number of qualifying children. For 2024, the maximum credit ranges from $600 to $7,430.
Provides up to $2,000 per qualifying child under age 17. A portion of this credit is refundable, meaning you may receive it even if you don't owe taxes. During 2021, the American Rescue Plan temporarily expanded this to $3,600 per child under 6 and $3,000 per child ages 6-17.
If you pay for childcare while working or looking for work, you may be eligible for a credit of up to 35% of qualifying expenses, up to $3,000 for one child or $6,000 for two or more children.
Helps eligible individuals and families afford health insurance purchased through the Health Insurance Marketplace. The credit is based on income and family size.
Note: Tax laws change frequently. Always consult with a qualified tax professional or visit IRS.gov for the most current information about tax credits and eligibility requirements.
The Inflation Reduction Act and other programs offer significant rebates for energy-efficient home improvements:
The Residential Clean Energy Credit provides a 30% tax credit for solar panel installations through 2032. This can result in thousands of dollars in savings.
Rebates of up to $8,000 for heat pump installation are available for qualifying households. Additional rebates may be available through state programs.
Rebates for insulation, windows, doors, and other weatherization improvements can help reduce energy costs and may provide up to $1,600 in savings.
Tax credits of up to $7,500 for new electric vehicles and $4,000 for used EVs are available for qualifying purchases.
Energy rebate availability varies by state and utility provider. Check with your local utility company and visit EnergyStar.gov for current rebate programs in your area.
As of now, there are no new federal stimulus payments scheduled. However, state programs and tax credits continue to provide relief. Check your state's current programs for available assistance.
You can check the status of federal stimulus payments using the IRS "Get My Payment" tool at IRS.gov. For state rebates, check your state's department of revenue website.
If you were eligible for stimulus payments but didn't receive them, you may claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on your tax return. This must be done within three years of the original filing deadline.
Several programs can help: SNAP for food assistance, LIHEAP for energy bills, state inflation relief programs, and various tax credits. Eligibility varies by program and location.
