and right now we must work together on commonsense policy solutions to ease the financial burden that my constituents are feeling," Thompson said in a statement. "The Putin Price Hike is putting strain on our economy, and I am proud to be working with Reps. Larson and Underwood to introduce this legislation to provide middle-class Americans with monthly payments to ease the financial burden of this global crises."

Thompson’s statement did not mention how the bill would be paid for.

Below are the states with rebate checks in the works:

California
On Wednesday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, said he's proposing to send direct payments of $400 per vehicle to state residents, with a cap of two vehicles. Pending approval from California lawmakers, the checks could arrive as soon as July, the statement said. Drivers in California face some of the highest gas prices in the nation, with the state average at $5.87 per gallon on Wednesday, according to AAA.

Georgia
Gov. Kemp on Wednesday signed a bill that will send rebates to taxpayers who have filed returns for both 2020 and 2021 in the state. The state will send $250 to people who filed as single taxpayers, $375 to head of household and $500 for married filing jointly.

Hawaii
Gov. David Ige, a Democrat, in January proposed sending $100 to each taxpayer and their dependents, which means $400 for a family of four.

Idaho
Republican Gov. Brad Little in February signed a bill that includes $350 million in tax rebates, which will apply to 12% of an individual's 2020 Idaho income tax return, or $75 for each taxpayer and dependent, whichever is the greater amount.

That means a family of four could receive at least $300.

Indiana
Residents of Indiana will receive $125 each after they file their taxes in 2022 due to higher than projected tax revenue, according to the IndyStar.

Maine
Gov. Mills wants to send $850 to most residents as part of the state's budget bill. In a statement, her office said that the average Maine resident will spend $560 more this year than last due to inflation.

Minnesota
Gov. Tim Walz, a Democrat, has released a plan for spending the state's budget surplus that included a proposal for income tax rebate checks of $1,000 per couple.

New Jersey
Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat, and the Democrat-led Legislature included cash checks of up to $500 to about 1 million families as part of a budget deal last year, when the governor and lawmakers were up for election.

New Mexico
Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham earlier this month signed a law to provide $250 rebate checks for individuals, and $500 for married couples. Like the stimulus checks issued by the federal government during the pandemic, these come with income limits, with couples earning up to $150,000 and single filers with income up to $75,000 eligible for the checks.

New York
Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul is proposing tax relief for New Yorkers through a $1 billion property-tax rebate program. The average benefit of the property tax rebate would be about $970 for homeowners outside of New York City, according to Bloomberg News.

Virginia
Lawmakers in Virginia are expected to pass tax relief in the form of a rebate check, although the amount isn't yet clear, according to local news site Wavy.com. Different proposals would either send $250 or $300 for each individual, and either $500 or $600 to married couples, it reported.
