While the worst of the coronavirus pandemic was happening in 2020 and 2021, the American government flooded consumers and businesses with Stimulus Checks in an attempt to keep the economy afloat.
There have been several efforts since then to pass more stimulus legislation by both politicians and the general public. Even if the economy rebounded well from the two-month flash recession of 2020, two consecutive quarters of contraction to start 2022 may portend the onset of another recession. As a result, many Americans are holding out hope for further stimulus payments from the federal government or specific states to slow the economy’s decline.
Supplemental 2022 Stimulus Checks
As of August 2022, the government request for further stimulus monies seems limited. The Biden administration has suggested a gas tax holiday and rebate cards as a means of alleviating rising gasoline prices, but neither proposal has gained traction in Washington.
More direct stimulus payments were also a contentious issue, but that discussion has died down. However, given the likelihood of a recession in the United States, such ideas might gain traction later in the year.
