This year several states will continue to send inflation relief checks or referred to as stimulus checks, or tax refunds to help Americans beat inflations.

Southern States Who Still Issue Inflation Relief Payments
The U.S. Congress passed a series of stimulus bills to provide direct checks to Americans. The final wave was paid out in March 2021. As federal payments started to dry up and inflation began to increase rapidly, some individual states picked up the reins and began issuing inflation relief checks to their residents.
Most of the states that issued payments were from the two coasts, but a few states from the South such as Alabama, Delaware, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Georgia, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia that has an act to issue payments from their residents. Unfortunately, for most residents who missed the deadlines last year, the Southern states were unable to get payments. However, there is one state in the South where residents may still be able to claim a last-minute inflation relief benefit which is South Carolina.
South Carolina
South Carolina is one of the two states in the South where residents may still be able to achieve an inflation relief payment. However, it’s not offered. In June 2022, the state legislature authorized a plan to allocate $1 billion to residents in the form of a one-time tax rebate. However, the original deadline for those payments was December 31, 2022. Most qualifying residents already obtained their maximum rebates worth $800 through direct deposit.
However, if you choose to take advantage of the state’s disaster relief extension to file your taxes, you may still have a short window of opportunity. The state will give final payments in March 2023 to those who file their returns on or before February 15, thanks to the provisions of the disaster relief extension due to Hurricane Ian.
