Direct payment stimulus check of about $1,312 dollars in the United States

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com February 10, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

The governments of several US states for more than forty years have benefited their residents through the Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) program.

The money comes from the capital generated by the exploitation of minerals and oil in the state of Alaska. The initiative is one of the main incentives for residents there, who can apply every year.

This year applications for the 2024 Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) will be open until March 31. The calculation of the amount is based on the number of eligible applicants and half of the legal net income averaged over the last five years.

Payment Schedule and Eligibility Requirements

Payments of the 2023 Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) are now underway. All eligible Alaskans will receive $1,312 this year.

The first payment of 2023 was made on January 18 for applications in “Eligible-Not Paid” status on January 10. According to the PFD schedule, there are two more rounds of payments left.

People who are in “Eligible-Not Paid” status on February 7, 2024, will receive their money this February 15. The “Eligible-Not Paid” status means that although the application meets the requirements to receive payment, it has not yet been made.

The other scheduled date is March 21, for those applications that maintain the “Eligible-Not Paid” status until March 13.

Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy announced that he will offer a payment of $3,000 USD per person.

The news was published in the Anchorage Daily News, but the final figure will be determined at the end of June 2024. People interested in receiving the benefit have until the last day of March to submit their application.

The requirements to be eligible are:

Be legal residents of Alaska.
Remain physically present in the state for most of the year.
Not have a conviction for a serious crime.

Families in this state will receive direct payment stimulus checks of up to $550 in 2024

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com January 15, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

By February 2024, more than 700,000 Michigan families will be able to receive a $550.00 economic stimulus. The help is made possible by a tax credit that is intended for eligible individuals.This amount will be distributed per household and to the people who must compensate the 24% difference. All this, according to the calculations made in your 2022 tax returns.

The truth is that the governor, Gretchen Whitmer, enacted a project in early 2023 to obtain this budget from tax cuts.

For this reason, it is expected that the Working Families Tax Credit checks will be sent starting February 13, 2024.

What requirements are needed?

Having worked and earned income that does not exceed $63398.00 USD is another requirement to obtain said aid.

If this is the case, interested parties must have investment income of less than $11000.00 USD. They must also have a valid Social Security number and be a US citizen.

On the other hand, families had to first qualify for the credit, in their tax year 2022 returns, which were presented in 2023.

Some good news is that eligible Michigan residents will be able to receive an additional check on their 2022 tax return. Additionally, they will be able to get the full 30% tax credit on their 2023 tax return when they file next year.

This occurs because, under the legislation enacted by Whitmer, the credit was increased from 6% to 30% of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). In addition, it will be applied retroactively starting in fiscal year 2022.

Meanwhile, the governor expressed in a statement that by quintupling the Tax Credit for Working Families, they return $550.00 USD to 700,000 Michigan families.

“This directly benefits half of the children in Michigan. Parents can use the money to pay taxes, bills, put food on the table and buy school supplies,” she commented.

New stimulus checks of up to $1,500 will be sent starting this Tuesday

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com January 10, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Before January 10, some beneficiaries will already receive their stimulus check worth $1,500.00 USD.

The New Jersey ANCHOR Tax Relief Program is intended for low-income residents who meet certain eligibility criteria.

Furthermore, the New Jersey Affordable Communities for Homeowners and Renters (ANCHOR) program offers property tax relief.

Who will receive the stimulus check?

This would be for state residents who own or rent property (such as their primary residence) and who also meet certain income limits.

In the meantime, the goal of the program is to alleviate the financial burden many New Jersey citizens face due to high living expenses.

Therefore, homeowners who owned homes in 2019 and had a combined income of $150,000.00 USD or less in 2023 will receive the refund.

Likewise, homeowners with family income between $150,001.00 USD and $250,000.00 USD may receive $1,000.00 USD.

Tenants with 2019 tax returns showing income of $150,000.00 or less will also receive $450.00 USD.

Who is eligible for the stimulus check?

Homeowners who paid their property taxes in 2019 and lived there until October 1 of that year will be eligible to receive their payment. That is, tenants are eligible as long as they have paid their rent during that date.

On the other hand, those who receive this payment in January must have requested it between October 12 and December 29, 2023.

Applicants will then be able to receive their payments approximately 90 days after applying; except if additional information is requested to process the claim.

However, there are several reasons why the payment could be delayed, or even not arrive. These include: unpaid taxes, traffic tickets or child support.

States that pay the most money for social assistance in the United States

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com December 19, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

In the United States, social assistance payments are made every month. There are several programs that benefit eligible individuals, such as SNAP and Social Security.

However, these are not the only programs that are linked to helping people in need. According to official data from the Social Security Administration (SSA), approximately 65 million people depend on social assistance programs in the United States. Of that total, almost 40 million people benefit from the aforementioned Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

Among social assistance, in addition to SNAP, there is Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Medicaid. With this financial assistance, families can buy food, pay their necessary expenses and have low-cost medical services.

It is clear that all these programs are federal, but each state administers the funds and distributes them in the best way possible. Each area of the country has a different lifestyle, which is also reflected in a cost, hence the help varies.

California leads aid

If we talk about SNAP benefits, California leads the group with an incredible number of 1,911,000 benefited households. It is closely followed by Florida, with 1,632,000 and Texas, with 1,595,000. While New York and Pennsylvania round out the top five, this emphasizes the correlation between high-population states and the prevalence of welfare recipients.

Meanwhile, California has 237,614 TANF beneficiaries and 13,812,733 of its inhabitants are enrolled in Medicaid. In the following way, you can determine which states in the country send the greatest amount of money, according to their per capita income.

1-New York: leads the table with approximately $4,119 USD per capita in local welfare spending.

2-Alaska: spends $3,729 USD per capita.

3-Massachusetts: approximately $3,657 USD per capita.

4-New Mexico: state and local welfare spending per capita of $3,488 USD.

5-California: $3,403 USD per capita.

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

A tax refund of up to $1,200.00 USD is on schedule for Washington residents before the end of 2023.

This is the Working Families Tax Credit (WFTC), in which taxpayers could receive from $50.00 USD to $1,200.00 USD.

But, to do this, interested parties must be active and claim it before the possibilities of requesting it are reduced with the end of the year.

The amount they receive will depend on factors such as income, the number of members and the number of dependents they have.

What are the eligibility requirements?

The first thing is to have a Social Security number, ITIN or official identification. They must also have lived in Washington more than half the year.

You must be at least 25 years old or no older than 65, and those who have a qualifying child in 2022 are also eligible.

On the other hand, it is important to have filed a 2022 tax return. Finally, you must be eligible to claim the federal Earned Income Tax Credit on your 2022 tax return.

Washington residents have until December 31 to apply for WFTC. To do this, you must present a copy of your federal tax return that you submitted to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

The Social Security Number or Personal Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is also necessary.

Also required are the date of birth of the taxpayer, spouse and children, and driver’s license or state identification number.

Finally, the postal and residential address as well as the bank ID and account number are required if you choose direct deposit.

There are several ways to apply. This can be online or by electronic submission. If done online, it would be through MyDOR, the tax filing system, which is available in English and Spanish.

If done electronically, tax preparation software provided by various companies must be used. But in addition, the application can also be submitted by mail or in person with a PDF download.
