As the federal government continues to distribute the $1,400 stimulus checks provided in President Joe Biden s American Rescue Plan, many have been wondering whether there will be further direct payments this year. So far, 74 congressional lawmakers have pushed for recurring checks until the end of the pandemic.
Two months before Biden signed the latest stimulus bill, progressive Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and 52 other House Democrats sent a letter to the president and Vice President Kamala Harris pushing for recurring stimulus checks until the economy recovers with equal payments to adults and dependents.

Idea: $1,400 Stimulus Checks Every Month Until the Pandemic Ends?
For many financially struggling Americans, however, the latest round of stimulus checks likely won’t last long. With this in mind, twenty-one Democratic senators recently signed off on a letter to President Joe Biden in support of recurring stimulus payments.
There’s no question that the Internal Revenue Service has done a valiant job in disbursing one hundred fifty-six million coronavirusstimulus checks worth $372 billion to cash-hungry U.S. taxpayers under the American Rescue Plan.
But even before the dust settles on that achievement, there is already increasing chatter about a fourth or even a fifth round of direct stimulus payments. Know that to date, Congress has green-lighted the delivery of three stimulus checks to most Americans a $1,200 check in April 2020, $600 in December, and the current $1,400 payments.
According to a new analysis conducted by the Tax Policy Center at the Urban Institute & Brookings Institution, another round of stimulus checks has the potential to lift more than seven million people out of poverty.
