Biden’s gas stimulus is just a rumor

On June 12 several fake news accounts shared a post that President Biden had approved a gas stimulus worth $1,000 for Americans, and it went viral. The post claimed that the checks would come within the week if they hadn’t arrived already. There was also a photo of a check that seemed to be from the United States Treasury attached to the post. However, it was just a rumor.

The post was likely a ploy to drive up social media traffic. The account that originally shared the post is a self-described comedian and regularly posts TikToks and Facebook videos for her audience interact with.

The post didn’t have a call to action or request an personal data from the users.

However, President Joe Biden did rule out sending pre-paid gas cards, but may reconsider it now that the national average for a gallon of gas is over $5.
