Last week, it was reported that some new homeowners still haven’t received their STAR Program rebate checks yet. However, on Tuesday, Oct. 4, the New York State Department of Tax and Finance indicated that they have identified those who received inaccurate checks and are currently sending out the difference, where applicable. The problem, according to Tax and Finance staff, was that seniors were receiving just the Basic STAR, instead of the Enhanced STAR, a difference of almost $700 on average.
