Third stimulus checks worth $2,000 ‘could be agreed NEXT WEEK’ to get much-needed help to Americans
A THIRD round of stimulus checks worth $2,000 could be agreed next week to get much-needed help to Americans.
President-elect Joe Biden said last week that checks would be sent out “immediately” if the Democrats took control of both houses of Congress.
The election of Georgia Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock means that more cash could be dropping soon.
The blue party will control both the House and the Senate later this month and, as one of Biden’s priorities, could be one of the first things the politicians vote on.
On Friday, Biden told reporters that “we need to provide more immediate relief for families and businesses now.”
He also told reporters last Monday that “money will go out the door immediately” to those who need it.
However, Senators may not take their seats until January 22 – the deadline for certifying the Georgia runoff results.
Party leader Biden also reiterated his desire to get Americans more than $600 in a tweet last night.
Biden wrote: “$600 is simply not enough when you have to choose between paying rent or putting food on the table.
“We need $2,000 stimulus checks.”
The $600 stimulus checks are already on their way with people getting them sent directly told to watch out for a plain envelope.
