Although the United States appears to be over the COVID-19 Pandemic and no longer requires stimulus checks, there is renewed optimism for another sort of assistance to help families cope with increased prices due to inflation and a supply chain crisis.
10,000 Alabamans may be eligible for the upcoming stimulus checks. The funding is part of the Alabama Department of Human Resources’ second round of Child Care Workforce Stabilization funds. According to the new legislation, part-time employees can receive $750 and full-time employees can receive $1,500.
Four states still sending out stimulus checks
Four states with 87 million citizens still sending out stimulus checks. The Excluded Workers Fund, for instance, was formed in New York to assist undocumented workers who were unable to receive prior federal stimulus checks, according to The Sun. The program will be expanded in 2022 to include persons earning less than $26,208 in 2020.
California’s Golden State stimulus initiatives are still running. According to Governor Gavin Newsom, residents should expect a third check this year.
Newsom stated that upon the release of his revised budget in May, they anticipate receiving an additional rebate from the government.
To show their appreciation for all they did during the Covid-19 outbreak, the state of Florida is sending stimulus checks to teachers. The $1,000 checks are expected to receive this year also. While this is going on, Indiana’s state government reported a large surplus for the past year and is giving back $125 to taxpayers.
“We have an obligation to put this money back into the hands of taxpayers instead of leaving it in the hands of the government,” said Eric Holcomb, Governor of the state, as quoted in the report.
Reinstating monthly payments
Since the plan of Expanded Child Tax Credit is on the rocks, Senator Mitt Romney has presented a plan that would reintroduce monthly payments for families with children under the age of 6 and those aged 6 to 17.
According to The Current, Romney’s proposed Family Security Act would offer $350 per month for children ages 0-5 and $250 for children aged 6-17. If expectant parents apply, the benefit begins four months before the child’s due date, and there is a possibility that families might get up to $1,250 monthly.
The bill’s requirements, funding, and even age eligibility may change before it is voted on or enacted. In the end, the idea may help Americans if it strikes a balance between the Progressive Democrats’ desire for monthly aid to American households and moderate and conservative beliefs. If the bill passes, there is no schedule for refunding taxpayers.
