Stimulus Check Update: Biden to Push Additional Aid Upon Taking Office

With Joe Biden set to be inaugurated today, Americans should soon know more about their likelihood of getting a third stimulus payment. In the spring of 2020, eligible recipients got a $1,200 stimulus check, and in late December of 2020, lawmakers passed a follow-up relief measure that provided $600 stimulus checks. Joe Biden, however, along with other lawmakers, felt that $600 follow-up payment fell short, especially given the number of Americans who are still without jobs.
