Hope of the pandemic

The IRS isn't done sending money to the public. It's still issuing stimulus payments, plus refunds related to jobless benefits. Even though the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan was signed into law back in mid-March, stimulus payments under that plan are still going out. In fact, on July 21, the IRS announced that it has distributed more than 2.2 million extra stimulus checks for a total of 171 million payments. All told, that's more than $400 billion that's hit Americans' bank accounts or arrived in the mail in check form.
