Despite the US government’s thinking of presenting another package, there does not seem to be a high probability that there will be another round of federal stimulus checks.
In the aftermath of the COVID-19 outbreak, the checks are meant to help individuals in need and help Americans make ends meet.
President Joe Biden signed a $1.9 trillion rescue plan in the Oval Office in March 2021, approving the delivery of payments.
States and local governments continue to provide residents tailored payments even if the federal government has stopped issuing stimulus checks.

Millions of residents of Indiana started receiving their refund payments in May.
For married couples, the reimbursement is worth $250, while for single individuals, it is worth $125. The $125 payment will be sent to 4.3 million adults in Indiana or 85% of the state’s adult population. Taxpayers who submitted their state income tax returns for the year 2021 will get $850 stimulus checks from the state of Maine. Residents had to file their tax returns by October 31 in order to be eligible for the refund and they could not have been included as a dependant on another person’s return.
