The rising costs of utility rates are causing major headaches for Long Island residents.

However, help could be on the way from Albany. A proposal in the New York State Assembly budget includes rebate checks for families.

The proposal would give households making less than $150,000 a $500 check. Those making between $150,000 and $300,000 would get $300.
