New York state plans to send out its first-ever “inflation relief” rebate checks to taxpayers starting this fall, part of a plan from Gov. Kathy Hochul to put a little cash back into people’s pockets with the cost of living so high.

New York introduces 'inflation refund checks' to support residents facing rising living costs. Governor Kathy Hochul's initiative aims to alleviate financial strain, distributing $2 billion to over 8 million New Yorkers.
