The U.S. Government Approves Stimulus Check for Seniors, Providing Essential Financial Aid as 2023 Comes to a Close
As the year draws to a close, senior citizens in the US have reason to feel relieved as the federal government has given the green light to a $2,600 stimulus check. This significant move is aimed at offering crucial financial assistance to eligible individuals and bolstering the economy through direct deposits.
Individuals eligible for this crucial aid must confirm their eligibility at irs.gov before receiving the payment, showcasing the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) dedication to aiding citizens affected by the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In addition to the stimulus check, Social Security recipients—including those getting Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Disability Insurance (SSDI)—should expect higher benefits in 2024. In an attempt to counteract the effects of growing living expenses, Social Security benefits will increase by 3.2% upon the adoption of a new cost-of-living adjustment (COLA).
