As economic pressures continue to impact many households, several states have stepped up to offer financial relief in the form of stimulus checks. In November, one state is providing stimulus payments of up to $1,750 to help residents cope with rising costs of living, such as housing, groceries, and healthcare. This article breaks down who qualifies for this payment, how much you could receive, and when to expect it.
Who Qualifies for the $1,750 Stimulus Payment?
The stimulus checks are targeted at residents of the state who meet specific income and residency requirements. The payments will be based on household income, number of dependents, and filing status. Below is a breakdown of the eligibility criteria.

| Income Threshold | Varies by filing status, with a cap of $150,000 |
| Filing Status | Individuals, couples, and heads of households |
| Dependents | Additional payments for dependents |

How Much Will You Receive?
The amount of the stimulus check will vary depending on your income, filing status, and whether you have dependents. The maximum payment is $1,750 for those who meet all the criteria, but the amount decreases as income rises or if fewer dependents are claimed.
For example:
