The Senior Citizen League has been tying to get a $1,400 stimulus payment for those on Social Security.
Despite their push, no new legislation has been introduced.
Social Security: Will your monthly benefit increase by $145?
Will there be another stimulus?
The third round of stimulus checks were sent out in March 2021 and you could get up to $1,400 or $2,800 for couples. The checks were distributed to help those who may be struggling financially during the coronavirus pandemic. Since then, the Senior Citizen League has been tying to get a $1,400 payment. However, Social Security recipients should not expect to see another stimulus payment.
Rick Delaney is a chairman for the Senior Citizen League. In October 2021, he sent a letter to congress proposing a one-time stimulus of $1,400 for seniors on Social Security. However, Congress has not acted on the request.
Social Security is designed to provide income to those who retire or can’t work due to a disability.
