$3,600 in new stimulus checks is on the way – here’s when you’ll start getting it

Anyone who's been following the political dynamics around the possibility of a new stimulus check to deal with the ongoing financial effects of the coronavirus pandemic, by now, probably understands how unlikely we are to get another stimulus check in the near future. Republicans tried hard to keep the last stimulus checks from coming to fruition, and the fact that President Biden as well as White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki haven't said anything about a fourth round of stimulus payments certainly doesn't bode well for anyone hoping for another check.

Here's the thing, though. No, we're probably not getting any more stimulus checks for the duration of the pandemic, at least as things stand now. But it's also kind of a question of semantics because the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill that President Biden signed into law in early March also included more benefits for individuals, beyond the $1,400 stimulus checks that garnered an outsized share of attention. For example? So many people are about to get something even better than a one-time, $1,400 stimulus check -- it's a round of monthly payments that add up to $3,600 over the course of a year, with the new payments set to begin in July.
