Stimulus Check demands do not look to subside anytime soon. After the initial rounds of stimulus payments, the government seemed to shut down the program. However, most of the people of America are dissatisfied with the decision. They have stated several reasons for the continuing of the Stimulus Check. The previous shutdown saw people lose their jobs. Many of the employers were not paid up to the mark. As many as 72000 cases of people losing their jobs were being reported in Texas alone. The unemployment percentage has also risen significantly and stands at 5.4%.
The estimated growth of the global economy has also come down to 5.9%. It was previously estimated at 6.4%. As demands for the fourth check rise, a petition has gained significant popularity. The petition has till now accumulated close to 3m signatures. It was initiated by the owner of a restaurant. The proposal asks for monthly funding of $2000 till the pandemic ends. It can be accessed on the online website Change.Org.
The federal government is unlikely to issue any further checks. Under such conditions, the money from the states is proving to be a boon for the citizens. More than one state has announced stimulus payments for its citizens. Let us learn more about the same in detail below.
