More than 5 million older persons lacked access to healthful meals in 2019, as per the National Council on Aging (NCOA). In the US, more than 10% of those over 65 are living in poverty.
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the lifeline for these people. Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) tokens are used to receive stimulus benefits.
A senior family with one person receives an average of $104 in SNAP benefits per month. Ramsey Alwin of NCOA stated, “We have the funds to ensure that everyone may live without the fear of deprivation.” Yet to deploy them, we require political will.
How To Get Your Tax Refund More Quickly
It can be stressful to wait to find out if you will receive a tax refund after submitting your tax return. Refunds will be fewer this year, as the IRS has already stated, and the newly revealed data confirms this.
After one month of tax season, your return should have been reviewed if you filed it at the start of the period. It should take the IRS 21 days to mail your refund, so you’ve made a mistake if it hasn’t already. The best way to ensure that your refund can be processed is to double-check all of your information because any errors will cause the process to take longer.

Stimulus Checks Worth Around $500
The House of Representatives of Georgia has approved a plan to provide anyone who submitted their 2021 and 2022 tax returns a stimulus check of up to $500. This is a continuation of a tax credit passed last year and went into effect once the 2020 & 2021 tax rebates were filed.
The Georgia Senate will now decide whether or not millions of people will have between $250 & $500 added to their tax refund.

With a 170 to 2 vote to approve the law, it has a good chance of passing the upper chamber. The continuation of this credit served as a cornerstone of the Republican Governor Brain Kemp’s successful reelection campaign in November. Gov. Kemp is attempting to fulfill these vows now that Georgia voters have given him the victory reports As.
