Stimulus Check Update: Millions Waiting on Checks as Fourth Stimulus Direct Payment Gains Support From Lawmakers
https://www.msn.com ^ | 1 hr ago 29 March 2021 | Angelica Leicht

The third stimulus checks were signed into law just a few short weeks ago by President Joe Biden, but millions of qualifying Americans have already received their direct payments from the IRS. That's a record time for stimulus payments, which took at least a week or two to start processing with the prior two stimulus packages under the former administration.

As of Wednesday, March 25, the IRS had issued payments to about 127 million qualifying Americans via direct deposit and paper checks. And, even more paper checks and debit cards will be on the way in the upcoming weeks.

These direct cash stimulus payments have helped to buoy the millions of Americans who are struggling to make ends meet due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But while this money is necessary for many to help cover empty bank accounts and essential bills, not everyone has received their payment yet. Millions of Americans are still waiting on their checks, even as talks of a fourth direct payment gain support from lawmakers. Here's why you may still be waiting for your money -- and what we know about the possibility of a fourth stimulus check.

Why are millions still waiting on stimulus checks?

This is for the illegals so they can pay their own hotel bills.

Buying votes. Look for them again in 2022. Since we are retired and on a fixed income, the money has been welcome, but, I would have rather the shutdown not happened and people had kept working. Considering that so much of the Dem base is the gimme class, you can expect more by midterms. I hope I’m wrong and they get wiped out in 22.

Not all Americans get the money but all illegal aliens do.

Our government no longer represents us.

This is beyond ridiculous.

We were in numerous restaurants and businesses this weekend where the managers complained to us that so many people were out enjoying their stimulus checks and unemployment money that no one wanted to come into work.

Help Wanted signs everywhere but Congress still wants to hand out free money.

Eventually this will all collapse.

I guess math really isn't that hard when you get paid the same to not work as work.

The democrats are committed to tanking our economy while buttressing every communist regime out there . . . and I pretty much expect us to accept it like good little sheep.

Just wait until we hit 20% inflation rates and our savings are completely wiped out in four or five years. It’s coming.

It sure is. The first two stimulus went smooth. Biden can’t do anything right. Sadly the media has his back. A fourth stimulus will be very targeted I predict. I’d love to get one as I’ve decided we’re going down, I want something before the pain starts and since we get nothing from the government and gave the last 36 years. Why nor? Terrible outlook but I’ve given up worrying about the debt.
