Stimulus Update: Almost Half of States Are Providing Stimulus Checks or Other Relief. Is Yours?

Could more money be coming from your state government?

Many people have been hoping the federal government will deposit a fourth stimulus check into their bank account. That is very unlikely to happen at this point, especially after the recent passage of the Inflation Reduction Act which did not include another stimulus payment.

But that doesn't mean more stimulus money is off the table. In fact, almost half of the states in the U.S. have authorized additional financial relief for residents. Here's what you need to know about which locations across the country are offering support.
