Some of you are getting a second $600 stimulus check

[Andy Meek]

• The IRS and Treasury Department have about a week left to send out a new stimulus check to millions of Americans before reaching the January 15 deadline mandated by the recent $900 COVID relief bill.
• Millions of residents of at least one state, though, might be about to receive a second $600 stimulus check.
• California Gov. Gavin Newsom has proposed a new state stimulus package that would provide $600 stimulus checks to millions of low-income California residents on top of the stimulus checks provided by the federal government.

One of the many embarrassing failures of the federal government over the past 12 months has been the plodding, unnecessarily delayed, and woefully lacking action taken around providing Americans whose lives have been wrecked by the coronavirus pandemic with a new stimulus check. An abysmally small check, that is, for only $600, which came out of the recently passed $900 COVID relief bill.

The IRS and Treasury have got about a week left to finish sending out these new stimulus payments, which is supposed to end on January 15. The stimulus checks are being sent out in the form of banking direct deposits, as well as paper checks and preloaded debit cards that are also being mailed out. Next up will be to see what the new Congress, working with the incoming Biden-Harris administration, decides to do about President-elect Joe Biden's promise that he will make $2,000 stimulus checks a priority immediately upon taking office. Residents of at least one state, meanwhile, might be about to get more stimulus money very soon.
