November 2024 Stimulus Checks: Which States Are Sending Payments Next Month?

With the economic landscape shifting, several U.S. states are stepping in to support residents through targeted financial relief, including stimulus payments and tax rebates set to go out in November 2024. These initiatives range from tax rebates to child-focused credits and aim to help families manage daily expenses amid fluctuating economic conditions. Below, we look at five states providing relief and the specifics of each program.

New Mexico: Tax Rebate Program

New Mexico is offering a rebate to residents who filed their 2023 state taxes by the deadline of May 31, 2024. Here’s a breakdown of the rebate amounts:

• Married couples filing jointly, heads of households, and surviving spouses: Up to $1,000
• Single filers and married couples filing separately: Up to $500

Payments are expected to be processed automatically once tax returns are verified, making this rebate accessible to a broad range of residents.

Arizona: Families Tax Rebate

In Arizona, the Families Tax Rebate program is designed to support an estimated 743,000 families, providing direct relief to help cover essential expenses. Under the 2024 fiscal budget, Arizona is issuing payments based on dependent counts and 2021 tax data. Here’s how it works:

• $250 for each dependent under 17
• $100 for dependents over 17

The state aims to start disbursing these funds in November, ensuring timely support for families as they head into the holiday season.

Colorado: TABOR Refund Program

Colorado is continuing its Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR) refund program, which redistributes surplus state funds directly to taxpayers. For 2024, refund payments are structured as follows:

• Single filers: $847
• Joint filers: $1,694

An adjustment to this year’s distribution is that refunds will be evenly distributed, with an emphasis on increasing the benefit for lower-income residents.

Maryland: Child Tax Credit Extension

Maryland’s child tax credit program will continue into 2024, following Governor Wes Moore’s initiative to combat child poverty. This extension targets low- to middle-income families with young children or children with disabilities, offering a meaningful financial boost:

• Eligible residents: Up to $500 per qualifying child (under six or with disabilities)

This credit is projected to support approximately 40,000 families across the state, alleviating some of the financial strain associated with childcare and health expenses.

California: Expanded Child Tax Credit

California’s 2024 budget introduces a one-time child tax credit along with a young child tax credit, focusing on families in need of additional financial support. These initiatives include:

• One-time child tax credit: Up to $3,600 per qualifying child
• Young child tax credit: Up to $1,083 for children under six who meet eligibility requirements for the California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC)

California’s approach combines state and federal resources to support low-income families, especially those with young children, through direct payments.
