THE STATE IS STARTING TO SEND OUT TAX REBATES TO MILLIONS OF ELIGIBLE ILLINOISANS. 

THE INCOME AND PROPERTY TAX REBATES ARE PART OF THE ILLINOIS FAMILY RELIEF PLAN, GIVING HOUSEHOLDS A LITTLE BOOST SAYS GOVERNOR J-B PRITZKER.

ABOUT SIX MILLION TAXPAYERS QUALIFY FOR THE REBATES, WHICH INCLUDES 50 DOLLARS FOR EACH ADULT AND 100 DOLLARS FOR EACH CHILD, UP TO THREE KIDS SAYS HARRIS.

TAXPAYERS THAT CHOSE DIRECT DEPOSIT PREVIOUSLY WILL RECEIVE THEIR REBATES THE SAME WAY. OTHERS WILL GET CHECKS IN THE MAIL. OFFICIALS SAY IT WILL TAKE SEVERAL WEEKS TO GET ALL THE MONEY OUT. MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE REBATE PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE ONLINE AT: TAX DOT ILLINOIS DOT GOV SLASH REBATES.
