The NJ ANCHOR tax relief checks are being distributed based on when applications were processed, with payments usually starting about 90 days after application submission. You can track the status of your ANCHOR check or rebate by visiting the New Jersey Division of Taxation's official ANCHOR program website, where there is an online tool called "Check Benefit Status." You will need to enter your Social Security Number or Taxpayer Number (ITIN) plus your zip code to see if your application is received, processing, approved, or if payment has been issued. If you prefer, you can also check your status or get assistance by calling the NJ ANCHOR hotline at 1-888-238-1233 or visiting regional help centers. If there are any issues such as delays or missing payment, you should contact the NJ Division of Taxation directly with your application number and necessary documents. For 2025, payments started going out after the filing deadlines (with automatic filing data as of September 15, 2025), so if you applied on time, expect your check soon. The NJ Treasury website provides digital tools and phone support for tracking and issue resolution with the ANCHOR payments.
