Virginia families could see a significant financial boost this month, thanks to a $2,750 direct stimulus payment aimed at easing the burden of rising living costs. This targeted aid is part of a broader effort to support working-class households across the state. If you’re a Virginia resident, here’s what you need to know about when to expect this payment and how to ensure you’re eligible.
Who Qualifies for the $2,750 Payment?
Eligibility is focused on low- to middle-income families with dependents. Households earning up to $150,000 annually with at least one dependent child under 17 will qualify for the full amount. Those earning slightly above this threshold may still receive partial payments. To qualify, families must have filed a 2023 tax return and be Virginia residents as of May 2025.
Expected Delivery Timeline and Payment Method
Payments are scheduled to begin rolling out between May 15 and May 25, with most being issued by direct deposit to the bank accounts on file with the IRS or Virginia Department of Taxation. Paper checks will be mailed to households that haven’t provided direct deposit information. Families should keep an eye on their mailboxes and bank accounts during this period.
How to Make Sure You Don’t Miss Out
To receive the payment, families must ensure their 2023 tax return was filed by the May 10 deadline. Those who filed late or had errors in their return may see delays or disqualification. Verifying your address and bank information with the state’s tax website or IRS portal can also help avoid processing issues.
