IT'S HERE! $1400 Third Stimulus Checks + Unemployment Benefits Stimulus Package Update
Here’s your daily stimulus check, your second stimulus check, your third stimulus check, your executive actions, executive orders, and stimulus package update for Saturday, March 13th, 2021.
The Biden administration announced on Friday that beginning on April 1 people can begin signing up for new health insurance premium subsidies that were signed through the relief package.
The newly signed stimulus bill increases subsidies to those who are already eligible but it also makes help available to people earning more than four times the federal poverty level.
According to the Department of Health and Human Services, “premiums will decrease an average of $50 a month per person.”
This provision was designed to help people afford health care during this time and this will continue for 2 years.
Meanwhile, the massive $1.9 trillion relief package signed includes hundreds of billions in funding for state and local governments.
For instance, California will receive the most money, $42.3 billion including $26.2 billion for its state government and $14.6 billion across local governments.
