First introduced on March 17th, the “Gas Rebate Act of 2022” seeks to provide eligible taxpayers $100 a month in the form of a rebate, and another $100 for each dependent. Eligibility would mimic the previous stimulus payments, with the highest earners left out, and married filers with a combined income of $150,000 will receive the full payment, along with single filers who earn up to $75,000.
The bill was introduced by Mike Thompson of California, John Larson of Connecticut, and Lauren Underwood of Illinois. All three are democrats.
Currently, eleven states have either worked in a tax break for residents this year so far, or are working towards providing one or some sort of rebate/stimulus.
Marca provides more details:
Idaho
Idaho Gov. Brad Little signed a bill in February this year allocating $350 million for tax rebates to Idahoans. There are two eligibility requirements:
- Full-time Idaho residency and filing tax returns for the 2020 and 2021 tax years
- Full-time Idaho residency and filing grocery-credit refund returns
The payments are scheduled to begin at the end of March and will total $75 or 12% of your Idaho state taxes for 2020, whichever is greater. The tax commission will first send paper rebate checks to taxpayers who received refunds via direct deposit.
Georgia
Georgia residents who have filed both their 2021 and 2022 tax returns will be eligible for rebate payments based on their tax filing status, thanks to a historic state budget surplus:
- Individual filers: $250
- $375 per head of household
- Married couples filing jointly: $500
Residents who filed their taxes before Kemp signed the legislation will receive their rebates in the form of payments that will be mailed to them at a later date. Those who have yet to file and do so by April 18th may have their rebate payments added to their tax refunds. Of course, this is contingent on how quickly the state revenue department can incorporate the new payments.
Indiana
Indiana, like Georgia, found itself with a sizable budget surplus at the end of 2021. Gov. Eric Holcomb announced in December 2021 that Indiana taxpayers would receive a $125 one-time tax refund after filing their 2021 taxes.
While residency and eligibility details are unclear, the state’s revenue department says taxpayers should not expect to see this bonus refund when they file their taxes. Rather, the state will provide more details on when to expect these bonus payments in 2022.
New Jersey
Gov. Phil Murphy and the New Jersey state legislature approved budget measures in the fall of 2021 that would provide one-time rebate checks of up to $500 to nearly 1 million families.
Murphy now proposes allocating an additional $53 million to send $500 payments to taxpayers who file their taxes using a taxpayer identification number rather than a Social Security number. Nonresident and resident aliens, as well as their spouses and dependents, would be among the newly eligible people, as they are currently ineligible for a Social Security number.
New Mexico
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed relief legislation into law in early March, providing New Mexico taxpayers with a one-time tax rebate of $250 for single filers and $500 for married couples filing jointly. To be eligible, taxpayers must meet certain criteria, including a single filer’s income of less than $75,000 and a married filing jointly income of less than $150,000.
California
California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced on Wednesday that he intends to send direct payments of $400 per vehicle to state residents, with a cap of two vehicles. The checks could arrive as early as July, pending approval from California lawmakers, according to the statement. California drivers face some of the highest gas prices in the country, with the state average at $5.87 per gallon on Wednesday, according to AAA.
Hawaii
Hawaii Gov. David Ige proposed in January sending $100 to each taxpayer and their dependents, for a total of $400 for a family of four.
Maine
As part of the state budget, Maine Gov. Mills wants to send $850 to the majority of residents. According to a statement issued by her office, the average Maine resident will spend $560 more this year than last due to inflation.
Minnesota
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz unveiled a plan to spend the state’s budget surplus, which included a proposal for $1,000 income tax rebate checks per couple.
New York
New YorkGov. Kathy Hochul is proposing a $1 billion property-tax rebate program to provide tax relief to New Yorkers. According to Bloomberg News, the average benefit of the property tax rebate would be around $970 for homeowners outside of New York City.
Virginia
According to local news site Wavy.com, Virginia lawmakers are expected to pass tax relief in the form of a rebate check, though the amount is not yet clear. It was reported that different proposals would send $250 or $300 to each individual, and $500 or $600 to married couples.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.
Proverbs 13:11
This just shows you how utterly dead and done this country is. We know have politicians in both blue and red states looking to shell out checks to combat inflation, even though money printing is the ROOT CAUSE OF INFLATION!
The Quickest Way To Know The Economy Is Broken Beyond Repair
If and when this money arrives, most people will spend it on junk, and use it as an empowering excuse to run up the credit cards some more, and spend it on everything else but gas.
If stimulus does eventually come your way, in whatever amount, please, use it wisely.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I got my first stimulus and I only used $20 when unknowing, I thought I could make a little passive income with small fraction trade investments. It’s still there, and I didn’t realize I was doing wrong, I must confess this to you confess my fault to you Jacob, even though I was frugal with the remaining $1,480.
If you want to rebuke me that’s fine, but I felt the need to confess that to ya, I didn’t know any better. But tell me about legit investments, please.
The devils don’t want the debt system to end, because that is the best way to bring in Central Bank Digital Currencies. How? Very simple. DEBT FORGIVENESS!
The more people bury themselves in debt, the less chance they will even be able to stand against a new CBDC. All the devils will need to do in the future, is to create debtor prisons. Then tell the debtor slave masses, it’s either pay off your debts in a forced labour camp, or accept the new CBDC and have your debts forgiven.
That’s scary, Bryan! I thought debtors prison went away after the dark ages, but then again with the jesuits taking the reins of this and pulling the strings, debtors prison could very well make a comeback. Maybe that will fix the economy in its own fashion, I don’t have a clue.
Bryan, I have a Skype account now, I’m Andrew Guerra. Can you Skype me or no?
Here’s something to do if you’re bored:
See how many toxins are in your water supply!
Go to Environmental Working Group’s Tap Water Database at https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/
Type in your zip code, hit go, click view utilities, and check out all those carcinogens, (cancer causing substances), etc!
If you want to dig a lot deeper than the info they provide, type the name of the toxin into the NIH’s PubChem database at https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
Click on the compound/substance, and check out the Associated Disorders and Diseases tab. You can also see their supposed “therapeutic” uses under the Drug and Medication Information.
Have fun!
