A new stimulus check will be coming to a number of eligible United States citizens. The State of Massachusetts will grant this new stimulus check in the amount of $500 per month.
The process of the applications to get this new stimulus check will start within two weeks. So citizens who can apply for this new monthly payment will be able to apply very soon.
The new program granting stimulus checks is called Rise Up Cambridge. The process will begin on June 1 and will end next July 31. The screening process will be done so that applications will be accepted on a rolling basis without having to wait until the end to find out if we will receive a check or not.
Who can apply for this new stimulus check?
The requirements to be eligible to apply for the new stimulus check in Massachusetts are several. The first is that the household must have at least one child. In addition to that, it is mandatory to be a Cambridge resident. You also need to be at least 18 years old and one person in the household must be at least 21 years old.
The money for this stimulus check is funded by a $22 million fund within Cambridge. The family’s income must be at or below 250% of the federal poverty level. These new checks have nothing to do with Social Security. This means that if we receive a disability payment or other SSA check, we can still apply.
The important thing to keep in mind is to always keep in mind that new stimulus checks for Americans can come out at any time. We cannot fail to check these types of payments, as they can be of great help to Americans who need it the most. In addition to this, other payments such as Supplemental Security Income or any kind of benefits do not influence these extra payments, as we have said before.
How long will this $500 per month payment last?
The total number of months that citizens with this new stimulus check will receive the $500 per month is 18 months. This will make these chosen United States citizens able to collect a total of $9,000 at the end.
As for the income requirements it should also be noted that the final amount depends on the number of people in the household. In the case of two eligible persons the maximum is $49,300 per month. If there are three people living, the income cannot exceed $62,150.
Once we have the check accepted, every month we will receive the amount. So this can be a great relief, and that is that the stimulus checks of $500 each can be used for whatever the citizen needs and wants.
