Stimulus Checks seem unlikely. It’s been almost three years since the shutdown of the American economy. Even though many of us had personal connections to those who had perished from COVID-19, we understood relatively little about the virus itself. Millions of us have become used to participating in Zoom meetings while sitting in our jammies since those of us who could do so were able to work from home. Those who did go out into the world in search of employment risked contracting a potentially fatal illness.
Stimulus Checks Are Still Being Given Out
Since more companies were closing and unemployment was rising, the government understood that COVID-19 may plunge the economy into a serious depression. The CARES Act was passed and signed into law in March 2020. Most Americans had a stimulus check placed into their bank accounts or sent to them as part of that program.
In 2022, stimulus payments were distributed in several of the following states. Millions of locals, however, have not yet received their share of the money for a variety of reasons. Whether your state is on the list, look to see if your circumstances match up with the ones given.
California
According to data released by the state of California, by the end of 2022, the vast majority of relief payments up to $1,050 had been distributed. About 5%, however, won’t get out until Monday, January 16. This sum is calculated by factoring in your yearly income, the size of your family, and your tax filing status. Between $350 and $1,050 is available to those who are either single and make less than $250,000 per year, or who are married and make less than $500,000 per year.
Colorado
By the end of this month, Coloradoans who filed for a tax extension in 2021 should have received their stimulus checks. There is a $750 refund for those filing as individuals and a $1,500 refund for married couples filing jointly.
Idaho
The state of Idaho’s legislature granted a discount at a special session in 2022. Single filers will get $300, joint filers will receive $600, and whoever owes the most in income taxes in 2020 will receive 10% of that amount, or whichever is bigger, by the end of March.
