Hawaii, Idaho, Chicago, and Pennsylvania have announced that they will be giving stimulus checks to eligible residents within the coming week. Since the US federal government is no longer distributing relief payments to Americans, several states stepped up by offering stimulus money as one-time stimulus checks for inflation and tax rebates.
