Since the United States Federal Government began sending out stimulus checks in the wake of the individual situations of the past few years, many citizens have enjoyed this very useful amount of money. Thanks to these stimulus checks, many Americans have been able to pay their bills in the current hard times.
This is a great relief for American households. This is it because they can see how their economy can improve a bit with this stimulus check. Although these types of payments are apparently no longer being sent out, some states are paying many residents an income that could be somewhat similar. Within the state of Massachusetts we find a new payment coming in May.
This new payment could be part of the solution to residents’ economic problems. With a new stimulus check coming in the next few weeks, dozens of American families may have money to pay for what they need. So electricity, gas and other utility bills, as well as grocery shopping, won’t be as much of a problem for these citizens.
Who will receive the new stimulus check?
This stimulus check is only for Chelsea residents. This Massachusetts city receives this amount through the food and utility subsidy program. With this many families will have a check within a very short time.
There are several requirements to be part of this program. The first one is to have resided in Chelsea during the time in which you could apply. In addition to that, the family must have an income of less than 30% of the median income in the Chelsea area. So at most there must be an income of $29,450 in the household.
This is the case if there is only one person. In case there are two people in the household, the maximum becomes $33,650. With each new member added to the family frame the threshold increases a little. So it is a good idea to check before applying for the check. Even so, remember that the benefit will see its end in the next few days and it is no longer possible to reapply. It does not say anything about Social Security income.
How much money do these families receive?
The maximum amount of this stimulus check is $400 per month. The program has lasted for exactly three months and is expected to be repeated in the future. The three-part mailing with a check in each part has paid a total of $1,200 to many families.
However, some families have received $200 per month and others $300 per month. It all depends on the number of members in each family. Still, any of these stimulus checks have been welcomed by Americans who have been able to enjoy them. And all indications are that we can combine it with our Social Security disability or age retirement benefit.
It is still too early to determine whether the program will be repeated in future years. What we do know is that all those who have been accepted into these stimulus checks will have a new check for their expenses on the 15th.
