Key Points:
- Over 500,000 Mainers are set to receive $300 "affordability checks" funded from Maine's rainy-day fund, automatically mailed to those who filed 2025 state taxes and meet income eligibility criteria.
- Eligibility requires earning below $50,000 for individuals, $75,000 for heads of household, and $100,000 for married couples filing jointly in 2025; couples may receive two separate checks if both qualify.
- Those who have not filed state taxes can still receive the check by filing a return by the October 15 deadline, with payments expected within two weeks of filing.
- As of the latest update, 367,211 checks have been sent out of an anticipated 514,000; recipients can check payment status online or by contacting Maine Revenue Services.
- Lost or undelivered checks can be replaced by contacting the Maine Revenue Services affordability check helpline at (207) 624-9924.
