More than $1 trillion in federal stimulus funds were distributed to low- and middle-income Americans through three separate stimulus checks. While the federal government may make another stimulus payment, the chances of this happening are slim to none. Direct stimulus payments, small business assistance, and expanded unemployment insurance benefits, several states have begun implementing their COVID-19 relief programs.

Financial Assistance
It is reported that financial assistance and stimulus checks are available in several states across the United States to assist their citizens, according to MARCA. Because, in contrast to the previous stimulus, the money for this stimulus will not come from the federal government this time around. Nowadays, the location of one’s home is very important to one’s well-being. In some cases, it has been reported that the state’s fourth stimulus check has already arrived, which is a significant development.
According to The Sun, it is necessary to meet certain income requirements and to file a US tax return in order to be eligible for stimulus payments. Individual taxpayers with incomes up to $75,000 and married couples with incomes up to $150,000 are eligible for the stimulus check. The tax return of a family may have an impact on the amount of stimulus money that they are eligible to receive.
