$1,400 stimulus checks, unemployment extension and more!

Happy Monday, friends! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

It looks like the newest relief bill will pass in the next couple of days. This round includes $1,400 stimulus checks, an expansion of unemployment benefits until early September and a bigger child tax credit.

I’m compiling some FAQs about all three of these topics. If you have questions about stimulus checks, unemployment or the child tax credit, please ask away and I will try my best to answer!

Hello Everyone!

@dear.penny , I’m interested in learning more about the unemployment extension and how to file if your UI benefits ran out 4 months ago. Any resources on that topic? Please connect me! I’d love to see a decision tree chart!

On a lighter note…I appreciate all the positive and supportive people in the Penny Hoarder community that have shared advice and support. My heart goes out to everyone in situations that are beyond their control. Its scary.

My husband and I are still waiting for our stimulus check. There’s not even a date out there which really makes me think there’s a problem. We got federal and both state tax refunds in a timely manner. Is anyone still waiting for their stimulus check?
