Your Check May Be in the Mail Soon

Economic relief for many Americans is soon to be on its way. The United States government is planning to send checks or direct deposits (depending on how you filed your 2018 or 2019 taxes) to support all Americans due to the impact of COVID-19. As of this writing, each US adult who earned less than $75,000 will receive $1,200. Parents will also receive $500 per child. This stimulus money is part of legislation passed by the Senate on March 25 and still needs to be passed by the House to become law. The government’s goal is to have the money reach Americans by mid-April. To see how much stimulus money may be coming your way, use this handy calculator provided by the Washington Post.
