Inflation is seemingly still hurting United States households and the stimulus checks seem to be alleviating the situation somewhat. Although everything seems to indicate that inflation itself has stopped a bit, Americans can’t stop being alert. And the fact is that any situation that greatly affects the economy causes social welfare to fall sharply.
Even so, it is true that federal proposals such as stimulus checks help Americans a lot. Thanks to this economic help, the most needy citizens can receive a good amount of money that serves to relieve the pockets and bank accounts of citizens. Therefore, knowing which are the current stimulus checks makes us have a very valuable knowledge.
This time we are talking about a stimulus check that will grant up to $600 to its recipients. This new payment will go to those chosen who meet the requirements. But any help is always welcome. Of course, it is also true that citizens of only certain California counties are eligible for these payments.
Who can apply for the stimulus check?
In order to apply for the stimulus check, certain requirements must be met. Among them, the first requirement is to be a resident of Sacramento, Sutter and Yuba.
These cities are within California and each has its own rules for granting these checks, although these are the main requirements:
- The applicant must have demonstrable low income.
- Have a current Social Security card.
- Show energy bills for the last six weeks prior to applying for the stimulus check.
- Present official documentation valid in the United States. Passport should be valid for this purpose.
A stimulus check awarded under this program can yield anywhere from $300 to $600 annually. The ultimate purpose of this payment is only to pay electricity bills, so the money cannot be used for other expenses.
In order to apply for this payment it is necessary to submit an online application. It should be noted that the stimulus check will preferentially go to citizens with high energy bills and economic needs.
