According to information provided by the White House in recent months, there is no plan to continue distributing stimulus money. As Brad McMillan, a chief investment officer of Commonwealth Financial Network, explains, one “cause of inflation has been an expansion of demand fuelled by federal stimulus.
However, it is essential to note that local governments disseminate specific plans to send households a fourth stimulus check.
Several states have agreed to provide more financial assistance. Local benefits, however, will not be available to everyone.
