Some advocates and lawmakers are pushing for the fourth round of stimulus aid that would promptly send recurring payments until the end of the pandemic. However, some states have taken the matter into their own hands to provide economic support to their own residents.

Child Tax Credit, which is another form of financial support, has been removed, according to an AS News report.

States such as Florida and California have offered their own financial aid that their residents can access.

Florida Stimulus Check 2022

Around 177,000 teachers and principals are expected to qualify for the Florida stimulus check as a "thank you" for their hard work throughout the pandemic.

The new round of stimulus checks for Florida teachers and principals is believed to be worth around $1,000 each.

The state of Florida's 2022 budget also includes a $1,000 bonus for teaching staff.

In January, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis explained why it is a good idea to offer teachers rewards, saying that the state is making a significant difference in the lives of the students by boosting teacher pay and handing bonuses to principals and teachers.

DeSantis added that it fosters a strong civics curriculum, according to a Marca News report.

Florida's Department of Education also allocated three and a half million dollars for the time and bureaucracy needed to administer the checks.

Teachers could collect a fifth stimulus check in 2022 after the three federal ones and one state check from the past few years.

Golden State Stimulus Check

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said that Californians can expect a stimulus check this year.

Newsom explained they expect in the May language when he updates the budget that they are likely to have an additional rebate to the taxpayers, according to another Marca News report.

A state lawmaker raised an issue on sending another round of stimulus checks to deal with a huge projected budget surplus.

Republican State Sen. Brian Jones released a video online, using grains of rice to break down the projected budget surplus. As of January, it was estimated at $45.7 billion.

The senator noted that the amount is enough to send every Californian a tax rebate of $1,125 or $4,500 for a family of four, according to a KTLA News report.

Jones supports the sending of Golden State Stimulus payments, adding that any amount that they can convince the state will benefit every Californian and family.

Meanwhile, in the second expanded stimulus payments program, eligible Californians got $600, with an additional $500 if they had one or more qualifying dependent.

Stimulus Payments Amid the Pandemic

Millions of Americans remain in financial distress with the spread of the Omicron variant creating new economic hurdles, despite the financial assistance.

New data from a Census survey noted that more than one-quarter of Americans struggled to pay their household expenses in the first week of February, according to a CBS News report.

In addition, the unemployment rate is at 4.2 percent, which is still higher than the pre-pandemic level of 3.5 percent.

There are still about 2.3 million fewer people on payrolls as of now than before the pandemic despite massive business hiring.
