The White House and Congress have shut doors for a 4th stimulus check encouraging major metro cities all over the US to take initiative to give added stimulus check. People in dire need can keep receiving recurring aid money from COVID relief funds.
The central government urged large cities and non-profits to initiate almost 50 programs. This will provide recurring stimulus funds to people in crisis and help communities in unstable economic conditions.
