MORE than half a million Americans will start getting a one-time check of $285 from this Monday, November 15.
The people receiving the checks live in the state of Maine.

It's part of budget deal passed by the Maine State Legislature to help people who worked during the pandemic in 2020.
Governor Janet Mills said 524,754 working Maine people will receive a disaster relief payment of $285.
Mrs Mills said it's a one-time payment and a thank you to those who worked during the pandemic.
Under the Disaster Relief Payment Program, the State Tax Assessor was required to identify each eligible Maine citizen, and then determine the payment amount, up to a maximum of $300.
The number came from dividing the amount of the funds available by the total number of eligible Maine citizens, including the estimated number of unidentified eligible Maine citizens.
The allocated funding of $149.8million divided by the 524,754 individuals would result in a payment amount of $285.46.
Do you qualify?
In order to qualify for the Maine COVID-19 disaster relief payment, you must have filed a Maine individual income tax return as a full-time resident for the 2020 tax year by October 31, 2021.
Information included on returns filed after October 31 will not be considered in determining eligibility for the disaster relief payment.
Eligible recipients must have had an adjusted gross income for the 2020 tax year that is less than $150,000 if married filing a joint return or a qualifying widow or widower.
Or $112,000 if filing as a head of household or $75,000 if single or married filing separately.
You also qualify if you received wages, salaries, tips or other taxable employee pay during the 2020 tax year.
Those claimed as a dependent on another taxpayer’s return for the 2020 tax year are not eligible.
Business income does not meet the eligibility requirements for payment recipients.
When will payments be sent?
No application is required.
Payments will be mailed automatically to those eligible beginning Monday, November 15, 2021.
Between 5,000 and 25,000 checks will be issued most days over a period of six weeks.
A paper check will be mailed through the the U.S. Postal Service no later than December 31.
If your address changed since you filed your 2020 tax return, you must submitt in writing your new address and include: date of your request, your name (printed), your social security number, and your signature, as well as proof of the new address (such as an updated photo ID, a utility bill, lease, to name a few).
