Many Americans can soon expect a stimulus payment for the month of May if they live in certain areas and meet the criteria for the payment.
Checks are worth as much as $1,200.
The payments aren’t only stimulus checks, but also tax rebates and UBI payments.
Stimulus and tax rebate payments are typically a one time payment, where UBI payments are recurring.
