Madness in the U.S. over this SSA announcement: many don't believe it, up to $400

Millions of Americans will benefit from a check that has just been launched in one of the country's states

A recent announcement has sparked true madness in one of the U.S. states. The Social Security Administration (SSA) has confirmed that this fall thousands of Americans will start receiving a stimulus or inflation rebate check.

Governor Kathy Hochul of New York gave the green light after a budget agreement that will benefit millions of families in the state. The reactions were immediate: applause, relief, and hope amid an inflation crisis.

Millions of Americans Are in Luck: They're Going to Receive $400 for This Reason

The state Social Security indicates that it's not necessary to file an extra tax return or register again. It's enough to have filed the IT-201 form for the 2023 fiscal year. Those who meet the requirements will receive it automatically; the payment will be sent by mail in October and November.

As for the amount, the figures are clear: couples filing jointly with incomes up to $150,000 will receive $400, while those earning between $150,000 and $300,000 will get $300.

For individual taxpayers with incomes up to $75,000, the check will be $200, and those earning between $75,000 and $150,000 will receive $150. All these payments are based on already declared information, with no additional procedures.

Governor Kathy Hochul explained that this inflation stimulus check is funded by sales tax surpluses, caused precisely by inflation. "Starting in October, more than 8 million New Yorkers will receive an inflation rebate because it's simple: this is their money and we're giving it back to them."
