When Is The Arrival Of The $450 Checks In The Mail From Florida And Who Are The Ones Receiving Them?
For families in Florida, a $450 check may have been sent to your mailbox. According to the letter signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, The one-time, $450-per-child payment will help a total of 59,000 families in the state amid rising inflation. The price can be used for anything, but the state expects it to be used for back-to-school expenses or filling up at the pump.
The program was unveiled in a July release. The checks are part of first lady Casey DeSantis’ Hope Florida — A Pathway to Prosperity initiative, which is aiming to empower foster and adoptive families in the state and create public-private partnerships.

Who will be getting $450 checks in the mail in Florida, and when are they arriving?
According to a published post by Miami Herald, the checks are being sent to the mailboxes as the state observes a back-to-school tax holiday, which runs through Aug. 7. $35.5 million from the Covid-19 stimulus package is being used to provide the checks, which allocated $1 billion to assist families affected by the pandemic.
Not everyone is qualified for a check, stated Beatriz Lopez de Martinez, Florida Department of Children and Families’ south region spokeswoman. The money will be delivered to select foster parents, relative and non-relative caregivers, guardianship assistance program participants, and families claiming Temporary Assistance for Families needing them.
Checks will be sent directly to the families’ mail and arrive before the tax holiday’s end. Casey DeSantis says that they are going beyond government by bringing community partners to the table to meet the needs of foster and adoptive families. She also added that she is on a mission to make sure that no child in Florida goes without hope, happiness, and a home.
