Although the days of receiving $1,400 cheques from the Internal Revenue Service have ended, a handful of states are still intending to give stimulus to at least part of their residents.
Maine, California, Maryland, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, and Tennessee have all enacted legislation allowing for the distribution of cheques to a variety of groups, including teachers and low-income families.
To qualify for financial aid from the state, you must have already filed your 2020 tax return and meet all other qualifying standards. Here’s a look at who can expect to receive a small amount of financial support from the state.

California
Residents who earned less than $75,000 in income in 2020 will be eligible for another round of $1,100 state tax credits. In addition to having filed your taxes, you must have resided in California for at least half of the previous year in order to qualify.
Florida
First responders and educators, including teachers and principals, will receive a payment of up to $1,000 from the state of Florida this month.
Georgia
Georgia, like Florida, will award a $1,000 stimulus bonus to teachers and principals in 2020 as a way of saying thank you for their efforts.
Maine
Even if Maine’s Christmas stimulus is the tiniest of the states, every little bit helps. People who meet the state’s income level standards will receive $285 Disaster Relief payments from the state. $150,000 is the maximum amount that can be claimed by married couples filing jointly (as well as widows or widowers).
Heads of households are limited to a $112,500 annual income. Additionally, persons who are single or married filing separately are limited to $75,000 in income.
Maryland
According to the Maryland Relief Act of 2021, individuals would receive $300, while families would receive $500. There are also income thresholds in this case.
Michigan
It’s not just teachers that are being targeted in Michigan. Applicants must be employed full-time as child-care professionals to be eligible for the $1,000 award.
Licensing providers can submit applications to the state on their own behalf, and they will pass the bonuses along to their staff.
Tennessee
Hazard’s pay bonuses will be beneficial to both full-time and part-time instructors and educators in Tennessee, according to the state. Part-timers will receive $500, while full-timers will receive $1,000. Checks should be received by the first of January.
