The third stimulation package but nothing is in yet. / myLot

My government thought that the packages are not enough. So they decided to set up one more package. That was the third package so far and they will be giving between $900 to $2,100 cash on overall. Since the first package in Feb, they had been giving another 2 over the next two months. The problem is that the money will only be released on August originally. Many were unhappy so the government had bring forward a part to April and another part to June. Hopefully that will help those whom will need the money to tide over their life. I am going to save the money to pay the taxes which I will need to pay. For those whose government is/had given the money, how are going to spend it?

There are restrictions here, not everybody can receive financial aid from the government. They are giving it to people who most in need but I don't know what's keeping them slow, people are starving already.

I am the middle class as well. We had been given help but not as much as those whom need it more than us. The upper class do not need any help. What is really given to them was tiny but appreciative sum to them. It does not matter to them whether they get it anot.

@id_peace Not sure, we only had relief goods so far. I think we are in the middle class so there is less possibility that we are getting any of the financial support. The President is already frustrated since most people are not cooperating to just stay home.

Naturally ours have yet to arrive. They keep changing the rules on it. For some it could take months which is not very helpful. I think mine will come sooner though.

How many do you get? We in the US are supposed to get around $1,200 USD in one single payment. And they are providing COVID unemployment insurance (which I believe is like half of your income) for up to X months. But the stimulus package is only a one time payment, which may only help people a little bit. Stay safe & healthy.

I'm retired and on social security. I was told that people on SS won't get the stimulus checks.

Oh sorry about that. I hope that you will still do good without the stimulus checks.

We will be saving ours as we're lucky enough not to need it really but there is no way we're not going to accept it. It will pay the fees of the little boy in Nepal that we help.

I am also saving up mine but it will be used to pay my taxes which will be coming in a couple of months' time.
