Stimulus checks started a few years ago thanks to the United States Government’s American Rescue Plan. To date, it is true that there is no type of extra payment that is officially called this way, but citizens call this type of benefits this way.
And the most striking thing of all is that today the name stimulus check encompasses a large number of different payments. That is why it is difficult to determine what is one of these checks and what is not. But what we do have to be clear about is that it is common to get some of these different payments throughout the year.
It all depends on a number of factors and the government has already announced that, as it does every year, a particular type of stimulus check will be coming to eligible Americans. This payment depends on our own taxes, so if we meet our obligations we will get the check without any problems.
But everything will depend on several elements. It is not possible to control all these elements 100%, but it is possible to know if the United States will send different stimulus checks. At least we can get a slight idea.
New stimulus checks in 2024?
The only stimulus check that Americans will certainly get is the IRS Tax Refund. This Tax Refund depends on the taxes we pay, but if we are eligible we can enjoy the payment throughout the year. The exact day we get it will depend on several factors, such as the day we send the Tax Return to the IRS.
Likewise, the amount will also vary. The more taxes we pay, the bigger the check we get from the IRS. But paying a lot of taxes does not mean getting one of these payments. So check your Tax Return and see if you can finally get one of these payments in the future. Remember that there is a deadline to send in your taxes, even though Tax Season has not yet started.
In addition to these payments, the government has not announced any stimulus checks for 2024. This does not mean we will not get any. Each state may send different stimulus checks to Americans. This will all depend on the situation in each of the States. So we can expect to get one of these payments, but we still have to wait for them to be announced.
Is it possible to get Social Security and Tax Refund?
Receiving the Social Security check is totally independent with the rest of the benefits and payments such as stimulus check. If you meet the requirements, you will be able to receive these two payments. But remember that the Tax Refund depends to a greater extent on the taxes we pay.
If we have a very low Social Security payment, we will not have to pay taxes and, therefore, we will not get any Tax Refund. If the Tax Refund depends on the taxes paid, paying no tax means no Tax Refund. Although everything will depend on each individual situation.
At the moment the only thing we can do is to wait a little bit until we know all the official dates of the Tax Season and then we can start sending our documents for the Tax Return. After that we will know if we will have one of the stimulus checks or not.
