It’s solely based on your 2021 reported income.

Eligible recipients are those who filed their 2021 Maine individual income tax return by October 31, 2022, are not claimed as a dependent on another’s return, and have earned a Federal adjusted gross income of less than:

$100,000 if filing single or if married and filing separately; $150,000 if filing as head of household; or $200,000 for couples filing jointly.

Did you receive the $850 check? It will be sent to same address.

You need to know line 14 of your 2021 tax refund. Maine updates Tuesdays and Fridays so you can check tonight and there may be an update in the morning.

Hope this helps.

I do not know for sure, but my theory is that it’s based on the date you filed your state taxes last year (in other words, the earlier you filed the earlier you get your check). Basing this theory solely on the order in which my family members received them relative to when they filed their taxes (so, sample size of 3, lol).

Because everyone else does know about it. It's been in the news for at least a month now, give or take. It's also been around this subreddit as a bit of a hot topic--but again, you just joined up here, and not everyone reads the news on the daily, so I didn't expect you to know that.
