The state government is sending out more checks.
STAR rebate checks started going out to homeowners in the last two weeks.
And checks will be going out soon to New Yorkers who claimed the Empire State Child Credit or the Earned Income Credit on the 2021 state tax return.
The payments were approved this year to offset inflation. The average check will be $270.
The governor's office says the checks will arrive by the end of October -- just days ahead of Election Day.
