Does this apply to everyone or just people who never received it?

Long Islanders must reapply for STAR rebates
WOODBURY - Residents have mixed feelings about a reapplication process to receive tax rebates.
“If we're owed it, they should just give it to us,” says Plainview resident David Schwartz.
State officials say Long Island residents waiting for their STAR rebates need to reapply. State Senator Carl Marcellino (R-Syosset) says he thinks forms should be sent to homes by August.
Other residents say they don’t mind the extra paperwork, but don’t completely understand why they need to fill out more forms.
“I would fill it out if it means getting more money,” says Vince Kreyling of Hicksville. “I don't know why they don't want to leave it the way it is.”
Politicians’ feelings are mixed as well on the forms that could provide possible paperwork logjams in Albany.
“We don’t know how complicated it will be cause no one has seen them yet,” says Marcellino.
Others, like Governor Eliot Spitzer, see the process as necessary. Spitzer says the forms will make sure middle class families get “a bigger piece of the pie.”
Approximately 3 million New Yorkers will have to go through the process. State officials say most can expect rebates double the amount the received last fall.

Re: STAR
I heard this the other day on NPR news.
I wasn't sure if you had to request forms or they will be mailed to you. Thanks for the info.
Edited to add: Just went to the NYS website. Enhanced Star senior citizens will receive rebate checks automatically.
Basic Star recipients have to apply. Forms are not available yet. It doesn't say that they will be mailed or not. Guess we just need to keep on top of this.
