Some payments took the form of property tax relief, while others were gas rebates, inflation relief or simply budget surpluses paid back to the taxpayers.

Either way, millions received stimulus money, and at least 14 states are still distributing checks to residents who waited to file tax returns, applied late or got lost in the shuffle. In other words — many Americans still have money coming their way.

However, states across the country have shifted timelines, extended deadlines or otherwise revised their stimulus programs. If you live in a stimulus state but you’re unsure when or if you’ll receive a check in 2023, this guide will direct you to the right agency, online tool or phone number to find out.
