Texas Stimulus Checks: Who is eligible to receive a payment this month?

Eligible residents in Texas are set to receive a stimulus check by the end of this month, offering assistance to low-income families grappling with year-end financial burdens. The impact of inflation throughout 2023 has intensified financial challenges for households, prompting several states, including Texas, to provide economic relief to their residents, even as federal government stimulus checks ceased some time ago.

Approximately 20 states across the country are persisting in supporting their populations by issuing stimulus checks and tax refunds. To help you navigate this assistance program, we will outline the requirements and provide details on the amounts of money that will be distributed.

When are stimulus checks delivered in Texas?

Stimulus checks in Texas are anticipated to be delivered by mail at the end of the month, specifically by December 28. For those receiving direct deposits, the funds are expected to be processed one day later, on December 29. However, certain conditions must be met to qualify for this economic aid.

In the case of Texas, annuity payments are issued based on the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) and are distributed on the last business day of each month. Residents receiving this benefit should be attentive to their mail on the specified days.

For inquiries or additional information, individuals can contact the TRS office at 1-800-223-8778.

If a stimulus check issued through the Teachers’ Retirement System has been cashed, a copy with the cashing record will be sent. If the check has not been utilized, the original payment will be halted, and individuals should proceed to apply for a replacement. The replacement check typically takes seven to 10 business days to be cashed. It is advisable that if the original check arrives in the mail within that timeframe, attempting to cash it again is not recommended, as it will be considered invalid.
