New York's Inflation Refund Checks: Everything You Need To Know
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. New Yorkers could be getting a refund worth hundreds of dollars from the state later this year. Why It Matters Governor Kathy Hochul first proposed paying New Yorkers back on excess sales tax revenue in late 2024. Now, the idea has come to fruition as part of her 2026 State Budget, with the governor confirming the plans for Inflation Refund Checks on May 14. It means checks of up to $400 will be on the way for some 8.6 million people later this year. What To Know You are eligible for an inflation refund check for tax year 2023 if you filed Form IT-201 (the New York State Resident Income Tax Return), reported income within the qualifying thresholds, and were not claimed as a dependent on another taxpayer's return. Stock image/file photo: Four $100 bills. Stock image/file photo: Four $100 bills. GETTY How much you get can get depends on how much your income is. Joint filers with income up to $150,000 will receive the most available - a $400 check. Those with income over $150,000 but no greater than $300,000 will receive a $300 check. Single filers with income up to $75,000 will receive a $200 check, while those with income over $75,000 but no greater than $150,000 will receive a $150 check. There are no age restrictions, and eligible filers do not need to take any action to get their money. If you filed a return, meet the income requirements, and were not claimed as a dependent, you will automatically receive a refund check. According to the governor's official website, some 8.6 million New York State residents could benefit from the refund. In New York City, there are an estimated 3.65 million people who are eligible, 1.3 million in Long Island, and 900,000 in the Hudson Valley. What People Are Saying Hochul said in May: "Starting in October, over 8 million New Yorkers will get an inflation refund because it's simple — this is your money and we're putting it back in your pockets. I'll never stop fighting to help your family address the rising cost of living — and that's why I also delivered on my promise to cut taxes for the middle class, expand the child tax credit and ensure free school meals for every student." Charles Lindsey, associate professor in the School of Management at the University at Buffalo, SUNY, told Newsweek: "Hopefully, consumers will either use it to buy necessary, essential, non-discretionary items and/or to pay down their credit card debt, loans, and other bills or financial obligations. If this is the case, then it can be a win-win such that it can alleviate some financial pressure for consumers while at the same time not putting much additional inflationary pressure on the economy in the form of upward pressure on prices." What Happens Next Checks will be sent in mid-October 2025, with the New York State Department of Tax and Finance saying they will be mailed "over a multiple week period" due to the large volume of refunds, meaning some will arrive in November.

U.S. companies seem to be in no hurry to return to Russian market
Even as President Donald Trump seeks a diplomatic agreement that would end the war in Ukraine and reverse Russia's economic isolation, U.S. companies show little sign of embracing the administration's view that there is big money to be made by returning to the Russian market. Any peace deal would open the door to lifting U.S. sanctions that have barred virtually all commerce between Americans and Russians since Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. More than 1,000 multinational corporations sold or wound down their Russian operations in response to the war, according to a tally by Yale University's School of Management.

Denying Alleged AI Use, EMBA Student Sues Yale SOM Over Year-Long Suspension
Evans Hall at Yale School of Management. An anonymous EMBA student this month filed a lawsuit against Yale University, the board of trustees, and professors and administrators after he says he was unfairly accused of using AI on a final exam. Courtesy photo An executive MBA student at Yale University's School of Management has filed a federal lawsuit against the university, alleging that he was wrongfully accused of using AI on a final exam and suspended by the school. The lawsuit, filed February 3 in Connecticut's U.S. District Court, was filed anonymously under the pseudonym John Doe. It seeks to overturn the plaintiff's one-year suspension and have his academic record cleared of any wrongdoing, including the removal of the exam's failing grade on his transcript. It also seeks 'a judgment awarding Plaintiff damages in an amount to be determined at trial, without limitation, past and future economic losses, loss of educational and career opportunities, damages to reputation, and loss of future career prospects.' It's not the first time a student has sued a university – or even a business school – over AI use in classroom settings. But it does raise some sticky questions: What happens when universities and business schools rush to integrate AI into their curriculums while punishing students for using the very same tools? Where is the line between using AI to enhance productivity, stir creativity, and find new ways to approach a problem and, well, cheating? Two months after ChatGPT went viral in November 2022, an operations professor at University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School fed the chatbot his final exam for his MBA operations course. It would have earned a 'B' or 'B-', Christian Terwiesch, the Andrew M. Heller professor of operations Terwiesch simultaneously said that he would not outright ban the large language model from his classroom. 'If what we're solving for is engagement, we shouldn't be scared about the test question. When testing for certification and customizing learning, we may want to ban ChatGPT,' he said at the time. 'But for solving for engagement, we should find other ways of engaging the students. And there I think the technology does miracles.' That was several models ago, and the large language model has only grown more powerful. Generative AI has evolved well beyond the trendy B-school buzzword. Institutions around the world are now racing to integrate it into courses and entire curriculums. They've created AI majors, degrees, and certificates. They encourage students to learn to use all the new, flashy iterations of a variety of AI tools, but are cracking down on those deemed to use it inappropriately. While many institutions have rewritten honor codes and policies to cover AI concerns, there is no standardized approach in business schools – not that there necessarily should be. Innovation springs from doing things differently. But, without consistency, where is the line between cheating and using AI to enhance learning? And, how are students supposed to recognize that line? 'There is the tactical stuff in the classroom and then there is the reinvention of education,' Wharton's Ethan Mollick told P&Q this fall. We selected the AI expert as our for his 'dogged intellectual pursuit of one of the world's most disruptive technologies.' 'In business education, we teach people to be generalists. They are not a KPMG student or a Goldman Sachs student. They learn that through informal apprenticeship systems. At Goldman, they do the work over and over again and learn how to write a deal memo,' says Mollick, who requires his MBAs to use AI in his classrooms. 'But AI can now do that … There is a crisis of cheating but tests still work. If people cheat they cheat. I am much more worried about the next step in learning: the specialized piece.' In the Yale lawsuit, the unnamed plaintiff is a French entrepreneur and investor who is living in Texas, . He has a BSE in Biomedical Engineering and BA in Political Science from Rice University. He enrolled in SOM's 22-month executive MBA program in July 2023 and was expecting to graduate this spring. The lawsuit claims the plaintiff 'was on track to be the student Marshall/Valedictorian for his (EMBA) class.' Poets&Quants reached out to the Yale School of Management with several questions about the lawsuit. The school declined to answer even the general questions about their AI policies, citing ongoing litigation. A teaching assistant in the plaintiff's course, Sourcing and Managing Funds, flagged his final exam in June because his answers were deemed too 'long and elaborate' with 'near perfect punctuation and grammar and elaborate formatting,' according to the lawsuit. The course was set for open book but closed internet, so no use of AI tools, according to the course syllabus. A professor then ran the students' responses through GPTZero, an AI detection tool, and found that some were likely AI generated. The professor referred the case to Yale's Honor Committee. What followed was a flawed disciplinary process, the lawsuit alleges. The student claims that he was pressured by Yale administrators to falsely confess to AI use, with one dean allegedly suggesting he could face deportation. The student also alleges that the Honor Committee proceeded with hearings without giving him access to key evidence, among other charges. The lawsuit claims that Yale's own policies prohibit using tools like GPTZero due to their high false-positive rates, particularly for non-native English speakers. On November 8, the student says he submitted to the Honor Committee an email correspondence with Scott Aaronson – a prominent Computer Science professor at the University of Texas and an author of OpenAI's original AI detection tool – about the unreliability of GPTZero. The student also submitted academic papers written by former Yale University President Peter Salovey, SOM Dean Charles Kerwin, and other Yale scholars that he had the tool evaluate. 'Those scans indicated that there was a '100% probability' that selections from these works – some published over 30 years ago – were written by AI, a palpably false result,' the lawsuit says. Later that day, the committee asked the student to return to campus, which he had already left, with his personal laptop. The student responded that he was not available. He was later informed that the committee found him liable for 'not being forthcoming' to the committee. Yale gave him an 'F' in the course and suspended him for a year. He appealed the committee's findings but was unsuccessful. In a response dated February 21, Yale has objected to the student's request to remain anonymous. Yale lawyers argue that an independent assessment of the allegations requires him to be named. They also claim that details provided in the lawsuit are enough to identify the student and that he was previously accused of misappropriating non-profit funds, according to the Yale News Daily. The Yale case is just one in a string of recent student-inspired lawsuits in response to accusations of AI cheating. after he was expelled for allegedly using AI on a preliminary exam last summer. Yang, who is not a native English speaker, was working on his second PhD from the school, and is seeking $575,000 in damages as well as $760,000 in defamation. In Massachusetts, a family after his high school alleged he used AI to complete a social studies project, causing him to earn a low grade. In the lawsuit, the parents argue that the school's AI policy was vague and inconsistently enforced. The lawsuit contends the action hurts the student's chances of getting into Stanford University and other top schools. And then there's the case of Eightball, an AI-powered study tool designed to help students generate study materials based on uploaded course content. It was co-founded by three undergrads at Emory University, including a business major at Goizueta Business School. The tool won Emory's annual 2023 Pitch the Summit startup competition, earning the $10,000 grand prize, and was featured on Goizueta's website. (The post has since been removed .) Months later, Emory suspended two of the students, accusing them of violating the university's honor code. The university said the tool could be used for cheating even though no evidence was produced to show that students were misusing the tool, One of the co-founders, Benjamin Craver, sued Emory in May, The student argues that the university unfairly punished him while simultaneously celebrating AI innovation. Through a spokesperson, Emory University declined to answer Poets&Quants questions about the lawsuit.
