If you are due a state refund, you should still be able to get it even if filing a late state return.  So you won't give up your refund just because it's a few days late.   The question would be whether your state has any penalty for a late return even with a refund, but even that wouldn't prevent you from getting the refund.   There are too many states to know the rules in each one, but I would guess that in most states there is no penalty for a late state return that is getting a state refund.   For example, for a Federal return there is no penalty for a late return that is getting a refund.   Many states may also follow that same principle in a similar vein; however, a state could have its own rules.   Even if a state did have a penalty for a late return even with a refund, you would still get the rest of your state refund.
