Will Social Security Beneficiaries Qualify for a Second Stimulus Check?
In a matter of a couple of months, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has done the unthinkable. It's brought an unceremonious end to the longest economic expansion in history, as well as displaced close to 39 million workers, according to initial jobless claims over the past nine weeks.
With no clear-cut end to COVID-19 in sight, and no assurance as to when the U.S. economy will be humming along like old once again, Congress passed and President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act into law on March 27. At $2.2 trillion, the CARES was the largest relief package ever passed on Capitol Hill, which makes sense given the magnitude of disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
