- Millions of Americans still haven’t received their coronavirus stimulus check 2020 payment, which is unfortunate considering the current climate.
- The economic situation for millions of Americans has deteriorated rapidly over the past several weeks. One in four Americans is now unemployed as a result of fallout from the coronavirus pandemic.
- There are several reasons why stimulus checks still haven’t arrived yet, such as recipients accidentally throwing away the prepaid debit card being sent out to them as well as banks encountering an issue with processing the direct deposit.
Here are two of the many frustrating facts related to the federal government’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic. One, the economic fallout from the virus is now so acute and so widespread that around 1 in 4 Americans is now out of a job. Two, one of the government’s most high-profile and dramatic moves in the wake of the pandemic was to approve the disbursement of stimulus checks to most Americans — payments that, for individuals, could be as much as $1,200, while married couples could get up to $2,400, plus an extra $500 for each eligible child.
Except, well, that money started to be sent out a couple of months ago now. In waves, which means the checks are going out in batches to only groups of people at a time — leaving millions of you still waiting on your check. A perfect time for the federal government to be taking its time, isn’t it, while the US approaches Great Depression-level joblessness?
