In the state of New York, residents across the state will be able to access financial relief this 2026 through a new state program promoted by Governor Kathy Hochul.

These are checks of between 100 and 200 dollars that seek to help households face rising electricity and gas bills. The state investment for the program is 1 billion dollars and will benefit 8 million households.

When are the payments sent and how are they collected?

The checks will be mailed between September and December 2026. The Taxation and Finance Department will use the information already available in the returns to automatically identify those who are eligible, without the need to enroll.

Authorities recommend verifying that the mailing address is up to date in state tax records, since the payments will arrive in the form of a physical check.
