PENNSYLVANIA — Residents of Pennsylvania are starting to receive the latest round of stimulus payments from the $1.9 trillion Covid-19 relief package signed by President Joe Biden last week, and there's an easy way to check when yours will be sent to you. In the American Rescue Plan Act, each adult earning up to $75,000 adjusted gross income ($150,000 for a married couple) may be eligible for $1,400 relief per person in their family, including children. The extensive relief package also includes child tax credits, the expansion of Medicaid benefits for new mothers, added unemployment benefits and healthcare subsidies, money for struggling businesses, funding for the vaccine rollout and for schools to reopen, and more. It also will provide relief for many towns and their businesses. However, people who've been sued by a debt collector may not see the funds (see more here or here). Some residents have already reported receiving the money in their bank accounts. The link below will tell you if you've already received the payment, or when it's scheduled to be sent to you or your bank.
