Stimulus check latest updates – Fourth stimulus check calls grow as new payments of $1,400 are sent out in ninth batch

CALLS are growing for Americans to be sent another stimulus check as the country continues to emerge from the Covid pandemic.

President Joe Biden is currently working on two stimulus proposals, which currently focus on creating jobs and supporting families respectively, and do not include another stimulus payment at the moment.

However, many are hopeful that additional stimulus checks and student loan forgiveness will also make the cut.

It comes as close to one million new $1,400 stimulus checks are being sent out as the IRS continues to send out new batches of the third stimulus check to eligible Americans.

Over 165 million Americans have so far received the stimulus check at around a cost of $388 billion.

The latest batch sent out by the IRS marks the ninth set of payments since Congress authorized the $1,400 checks in March.
