Wolf stated that with the cost of groceries and gas rising, this could help residents who are living paycheck to paycheck.

Pennsylvania’s current price per gallon of gas is $4.17.

Food costs have risen 1% in March and 8.8% for the last year.

Some Americans eligible for $1,400 payment

$2 billion dollars still need to be committed that were given to the state before it’s taken back.

This proposal is part of a $1.7 billion dollar package.

The package includes $225 million for small businesses and $300 million for the healthcare system.

If the money is not committed by Dec. of 2024, the federal government will take it back.
