One governor is working hard to pass a proposal that would give residents of the state stimulus checks worth $2,000.
Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf wants to use American Rescue Plan money to give direct payments to residents suffering financially.
The plan is known as the Pennsylvania Opportunity Plan.
$1,400 stimulus checks under new proposal
Qualifying for the stimulus payment
In order to qualify, your household income would not exceed $80,000 for up to $2,000.
Households earning $50,000 or less would see $2,000.
Households making between $50,000 and $80,000 would see $1,500.
How to get your final stimulus check
The payments will not be taxed as income and would come directly from the Pennsylvania Treasury.
This is only one part of a $1.7 billion dollar plan proposed by Governor Wolf.
There would be $225 million for small businesses, $325 million for healthcare, $204 million for property taxes, and $450 million for investing in communities.
