The GOP's Coronavirus Stimulus Check Plan Includes a Surprise Bonus for Social Security Retirees
Throughout the United States, many Americans, including seniors, are struggling financially right now due to efforts to halt the spread of the novel coronavirus. COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus, has resulted in lockdowns, sent the country into a recession, and caused unprecedented stock market volatility.
In response to the economic uncertainty, U.s. lawmakers have passed multiple stimulus bills, and they're currently negotiating another one. Recently, the Republicans put forth a plan called the Health, Economic Assistance, Liability Protection and Schools Act, or HEALS Act, to offer additional financial relief. This Act would, among other things, provide a second stimulus check to millions of Americans.
But that's not the only assistance it provides to Social Security retirees; it also offers a little extra financial relief for beneficiaries.
