Eligible homeowners will receive their STAR checks before the deadline for their school taxes. In some parts of the state, school tax due dates are in June and July.

STAR checks will continue to be mailed out throughout the summer and fall.

"While some STAR recipients will receive their benefit in the form of a tax exemption this year, many other recipients will receive a tax credit and will be sent a check in the mail this summer and fall," Hochul's office stated.
