In an attempt to help residents deal with high inflation costs, Maine has begun issuing $850 stimulus payments to qualified taxpayers.
As of June 24, stimulus checks have been sent to more than half of those who are eligible, and more are on the way.
“As housing, food, and energy costs have increased, the stimulus checks will be a big help for low-income households struggling to cover higher costs,” says Sarah Austin, director of policy and research at the Maine Center for Economic Policy (MECEP).
