Virginia taxpayers to get October rebate checks

State of play: Virginians who owed and paid taxes in 2024 are eligible for the refund, which will start going out via mail and direct deposit on Oct. 15, Gov. Youngkin announced this week.

• The rebates match what Virginians saw in 2022: $200 for single filers and $400 for joint filers.
• Rebates will be issued in the order in which people filed their taxes.
• The General Assembly approved the refunds earlier this year as part of the state budget, something Youngkin has long supported.

What they're saying: "Since 2022, through roaring job growth and record private business investment, we have delivered four straight years of surpluses totaling $10 billion – and returned $9 billion in tax relief to Virginians," Youngkin wrote on X.
