00:00A new wave of relief. States offer financial lifelines in 2025. While the era of federal

00:06stimulus checks may be behind us, many states are stepping up to provide direct financial

00:11relief to their residents. From tax rebates to universal basic income pilots, these programs

00:17are a crucial lifeline for families navigating an uncertain economy. Here's a look at five states

00:23where the support continues into 2025. In California, a unique pilot project in Sacramento

00:29called the Family First Program is making a significant difference. It's providing 200

00:34low-income families with $725 a month. This guaranteed income program is set to run until

00:41November of 20. On a larger scale, millions of dollars from the past middle-class tax refunds

00:46remain unspent on debit cards, and the state is urging residents to activate them and claim their

00:52money. Moving to Colorado, residents are once again receiving TABOR refunds, or cash-back payments.

00:59The state is distributing $1.7 billion in these refunds, with eligible taxpayers receiving

01:05anywhere from $177 to over $1,000, depending on their income. While these payments are a welcome

01:12boost, projections show they may decrease sharply in the coming years. Georgia is continuing its

01:18trend of direct relief with another round of tax rebates in 2025. This marks the third consecutive

01:25year of such payments. Through new legislation, single-filers can expect $250, heads of households

01:31$375, and married couples $500. These rebates are funded by the state's substantial $11 billion

01:38dollar surplus and will be processed automatically for those who filed their taxes, meaning no extra

01:45steps are needed. Michigan is also making it easier for working families to get relief. The state has been

01:51sending out tax credit checks to over 700,000 families thanks to an expanded earned income tax

01:57credit. These payments have averaged around $550 per family. Starting in 20-20-5, the EITC will be

02:06automatically calculated and included in a taxpayer's regular refund, streamlining the process and

02:12ensuring more people get the credit they deserve. Finally, New Jersey is streamlining its property tax

02:18relief with a revamped anchor program. A new application form will combine ANCHOR, senior freeze,

02:25and stage benefits, making it simpler for eligible residents to claim up to $6500 in combined relief.

02:32Applications for this new process are set to begin in March 2025, with payments starting as early as

02:37July. This initiative aims to reduce paperwork and get much-needed money into the hands of residents

02:43more efficiently. These state-level programs show a continued commitment to supporting residents

02:49long after the federal aid has ended. They represent a vital effort to help families manage

02:54their finances and build a more stable future.
