Storyboard
Where's your stimulus check? It's getting negotiated down by Republicans.
A group of 10 Republicans are intent on decreasing the direct payment checks to $1,000.
When most Americans think of the stimulus package, they zero in on how much money they will receive.
A stimulus payment per person might help to pay rent, utilities and your car loan for a month, but having up to $50,000 in debt forgiven could open the door to financial freedom.
Some Americans who didn’t receive their economic impact payments might still be able to claim the funds.
If you used TurboTax or H&R Block to file your taxes in 2019, you may have hit a snag with your stimulus payment.
Some people may have to claim the funds as a refundable tax credit on their 2020 tax return.
