Disappointed in Your Stimulus Check? Here's How to Get More Than $600 Out of It
Recently, lawmakers passed a $900 billion relief package that includes, among other provisions, boosted unemployment benefits, a second round of Paycheck Protection Program loans for hard-hit small businesses, and direct stimulus checks in the amount of $600 for eligible adults and children.
On the one hand, that's good news. At several points during the year, direct stimulus checks were taken off the table in the course of lawmaker negotiations, so the fact that they made it into a final bill means Americans will now get their hands on the money they need and deserve. On the other hand, those $600 payments are just half of the amount Americans received under the CARES Act, which was passed back in March.
