4th Stimulus Update: Will Upcoming Payments Arrive Sooner Than They Did In The Past ?

Stimulus Checks Update 2023: These States Continue To Send Payments; Are you eligible?

Both the Trump & Biden administrations issued COVID-19 stimulus checks to eligible Taxpayers, and the Federal Revenue Service (IRS) was in charge of distributing the funds. It took the IRS several weeks to begin transferring funds into the people’s bank accounts and months to complete the process.

Once the economy collapsed, many people were left without the money to pay their bills. The good news is that future stimulus cheques from the federal government may be paid out more quickly than the previous three checks were.

Federal Government Hasn’t Approved For More Stimulus Payments

The federal government has not yet approved any more stimulus payments, even though the IRS will be better ready soon to distribute money to Americans.

Since the government is currently divided & House Republicans are unlikely to approve another direct payment, it is unlikely that any payments would be made in the upcoming months, barring a worsening of the pandemic’s circumstances.

But, as stimulus payments have previously been made during recessions and were seen as necessary during the pandemic’s peak, another one may be made. If and when that happens, the IRS might be in a position to provide Americans with that desperately needed cash in a more timely way due to the agency’s greater resources and aims for better customer service. And that’s fantastic news for People who might require assistance in difficult times.

Republicans Have Slashed The IRS’s Funds

Republicans have regularly slashed the IRS’s funds, blaming the agency for targeting Conservatives and attacking regular Americans as justification for the cuts, preventing the IRS from expanding its workforce or modernizing its operations.

Yet this is altering. The IRS received an allocation of $80 billion from the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act. This is a historically huge amount of funding allocated to the organization, and a sizable chunk of it is being used to hire new employees, improve customer service, and support the IRS’s transformation into a “digital first” organization reports Fool.
