The White House has said little about a fourth stimulus check. On May 4 during a press conference, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said we ll see what members of Congress propose when a reporter asked about another round of direct payments.
Although the post-pandemic economic recovery is ongoing, there s currently no legislation in Congress supporting a fourth stimulus check. There aren t even any specific stimulus-check guidelines on the table.
The most noteworthy economic effort in government currently is President Biden s $2.25 trillion infrastructure investment proposal, the American Jobs Plan. That proposal doesn t include a fourth stimulus check or anything like the direct payments that millions of people received over the course of the pandemic. Rather, it s a long-term initiative to rescue, recover and rebuild the country s financial standing.
But can U.S. taxpayers really expect to collect another cash windfall?
Over the past year, Congress has green-lighted the delivery of three coronavirusstimulus cash payments a $1,200 check in April 2020, $600 in December, and the current $1,400 payments under President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan.
That’s already $3,200 in the pockets of most Americans and with that in mind, can U.S. taxpayers really expect to collect another cash windfall?
Currently, there has been no hint of another round of payments from the White House. In fact, during a recent press briefing, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki appeared to be noncommittal regarding future stimulus checks.
