Nebraska residents may now be eligible to receive up to $2,300 in stimulus checks as part of an emergency relief effort launched to combat rising inflation and provide direct aid to households. This new round of payments is designed to offer quick financial relief to those hit hardest by economic pressures, and time is limited to claim your check.
Who Qualifies for the $2,300 Stimulus?
Eligibility for the Nebraska stimulus is primarily based on income level, tax filing status, and residency. Individuals who earned $75,000 or less in 2023—or married couples making under $150,000—will likely qualify for the full $2,300. Heads of households with income up to $112,500 may also be eligible. Additionally, families with dependents could receive bonus amounts for each qualifying child.
How to Apply and Claim Your Payment
To claim your check, you must have a 2023 tax return on file with the IRS and ensure your direct deposit or mailing information is correct. The fastest way to receive your payment is by direct deposit, which is automatically triggered if you’ve provided your banking details. If not, a paper check will be mailed to the address listed on your tax return. No separate application is needed if you’ve already filed.
When Will Payments Be Sent?
The Nebraska Department of Revenue and the IRS are working together to begin disbursement of funds in mid-June 2025. Most eligible residents will receive their payments by the end of the month. Direct deposits generally arrive faster, while paper checks may take 2–3 weeks longer. Residents are advised to monitor their bank accounts and mailboxes closely.
