Government Actions
The CARES Act was recently signed into law and includes several provisions aimed at helping Americans stay engaged in the economy through the month of April and help you with your bills. Here are some highlights that may directly impact you:
Stimulus payments: Most Americans are eligible to receive a stimulus payment from the government in the next few weeks. These payments are based on your most recent tax filing. Members who are receiving Social Security retirement and disability payments will also receive a stimulus payment. To learn more about these payments and to see if you’re eligible, click here.
Unemployment Payments: If you file for unemployment benefits, you can expect an extra $600 per week on top of your normal unemployment benefit for the next 4 months as a result of the CARES Act. The unemployment benefit time period has been increased to 39 weeks.
Get My Payment App: The IRS is developing an app to help track the delivery of the stimulus payments. The "Get My Payment" app is scheduled to be released around mid-April 2020 and can be used to check your stimulus payment status, as well as to confirm your payment type (direct deposit or check).
