It's possible you could get another stimulus check, this time from the Commonwealth.
Pennsylvania has yet to spend nearly $2 billion from the American Rescue Plan, money the state will lose if it isn't spent by 2024. Democratic leaders introduced the bills last week to use $500 million of the nearly $2 billion in ARP funds.
“Right now, you need the money. The Commonwealth does not.
Working families all across Pennsylvania have been put in a really tight spot.
The good news is, we actually can help right now.”
Governor Tom Wolf is proposing checks of up to $2,000 for households with income of $80,000 or less.
Other states offering payments to residents include Idaho, New Mexico and Indiana.
"Pennsylvanians should not have to choose between paying for utilities or groceries, childcare or gas. We have the opportunity and the means to ensure they're not struggling, to ensure their success," said Gov. Wolf.
Also in Governor Wolf’s proposal includes $225 million in support for small businesses, $204 million for direct property tax relief, $325 million for PA’s healthcare system and $450 million to invest in conservation, preservation and revitalization of Pennsylvania communities.
