Stimulus: What to expect for payments this spring

Stimulus checks have been a way for Americans to stay financially stable throughout the pandemic and inflation, but federal checks are over.

While that’s unfortunate for many, a lot of states are working to provide their residents with financial help.

This means plenty of states are working to create their own stimulus programs.

Here are 11 states creating stimulus programs for their residents in 2022

California Governor Gavin Newsom has put forward a bill that would give residents $400 gas cards for registered vehicles.

Each resident with a vehicle registered in the state would get a $400 gas card and can get one for up to 2 cars.

Illinois is proposing a stimulus check that would give residents $100 each plus $50 per dependent.
