Stimulus Check From Some States
In all, more than $1 trillion in federal stimulus money was distributed to the poor and middle class. While the federal government may make another stimulus payment, the likelihood is low. According to Forbes, several states have implemented their COVID-19 programs, including direct stimulus payments, small-business assistance, and expanded unemployment benefits.
Some states in the United States have financial aid and stimulus checks available to help their citizens, says MARCA. This time, unlike in the previous stimulus, the stimulus money is not coming from the federal government. The location of one’s home now has a significant impact on one’s life. In some cases, the state’s fourth round of stimulus checks has already been distributed.

The 7 States
According to The Sun, those who live in the states of Florida, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Connecticut, Tennessee, California, and Vermont will receive additional assistance. Depending on the state, job title, or income, some people may not know if they even qualify for the money.
Florida Stimulus. The state of Florida’s fourth stimulus payment was $1,000. In this case, only teachers and first responders received the benefits.
New Hampshire Stimulus. A one-time payment of $1,086 will be made to New Hampshire families of three who do not have an income.
New Mexico Stimulus. Only a few applicants will receive funding, with low-income families given priority. Financial aid is available in the amount of up to $750.
Connecticut Stimulus. The state of Connecticut’s Back to Work stimulus program, which helps people find new jobs after being laid off due to the pandemic, will expire on December 31. The recipient must have found work before receiving the payments worth $1,000 each.
Tennessee Stimulus. A $1,000 bonus for full-time public school employees and a $500 bonus for part-time public school employees were enacted earlier this year in Tennessee by the state legislature.
California Stimulus. A total of between $600 and $1,100 was expected to be paid out to Golden State Stimulus II recipients by the end of the month.
