There’s one very unfortunate and annoying thing that’s gone hand-in-hand with the federal government’s distribution of stimulus payments in recent weeks and months. It’s a plethora of stimulus check scams, that can separate unsuspecting victims from their money if they’re not careful. The IRS sent out a warning about specific scams to watch out for, …
The IRS distributed $15 billion in August to families with 61 million children, according to the tax agency. That money came in the form of child tax credit payments — the monthly series of checks that give parents a few hundred dollars per eligible child that they have. And another of those new child tax …
In the country’s most populous state, two major stories that are somewhat linked are happening at the same time right now. There’s a new California stimulus check update, now that those payments have started going out to thousands of Golden State residents and will give them a few hundred extra dollars. And the state’s governor, …
We have an answer, finally, to a question everyone has been asking since the $1.9 trillion stimulus law’s passage. The one that made a third wave of stimulus payments for $1,400 possible. Some six months on, and with the pandemic still ranging? It’s natural to wonder whether there will there be a fourth stimulus check. …
The way the stimulus check program has worked during the 18 months or so of the COVID-19 pandemic thus far is that three much-needed payments have been sent out automatically. In March and December of 2020, the federal government sent out two checks for $1,200 and $600, respectively, on an automatic basis. That was followed …
New stimulus payments are the sun around which the Democratic political ecosystem and its supporters orbit right now. So far, of course, one wave of $1,400 stimulus checks has gone out this year.

Some people who’ve been wanting to know whether we’ll be getting more stimulus money anytime soon — in the form of a fourth relief check — have arguably been looking for that financial boost in the wrong place. The federal government is bogged down with a number of catastrophes and politically thorny legislative priorities at …
The stimulus question that so many people have been asking — is a fourth stimulus check in the cards? — is finally starting to be answered. For some of you, at least. This is not to say that the federal government is necessarily pressing forward with an all-new round of payments, either. It’s wildly optimistic …
We’ve previously called 2021 the year of the stimulus check. And there’s so much evidence that continues to prove why this is the case. From the ongoing child tax credit checks, to some people receiving what amount to fourth stimulus checks. Those are coming soon to residents of California. As well as to parents who …
It’s now clear that fourth stimulus checks are definitely coming soon, albeit for a couple of very specific demographics. Notwithstanding the Change.org petition calling for $2,000 stimulus checks — which has now been signed by more than 2.8 million people — these new checks will range from a few hundred dollars to, in one unique …
