Still Waiting on Your Stimulus Check? Here's When the Next Payments Are Going Out.

COVID-19 hasn't just sickened hundreds of thousands of Americans; it's also taken a major toll on the U.S. economy.

Under the CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security) Act, which was passed in late March, Americans whose income falls below a certain threshold are eligible to receive a one-time stimulus payment in the amount of $1,200. Additionally, those with dependent children under the age of 17 will receive an extra $500 per child.
