Some states issue their own stimulus checks to help low-income households

Three stimulus checks have been credited to US households to help reduce poverty and support families during the pandemic. However, with the surge of the Delta variant, some states are also planning to find funds for the same. A number of states are using their own stimulus funds and surpluses to help more low-income households, residents and teachers. This direct aid is set to reach more than 25 million people beginning this month. 

Many households have already used the third stimulus check that was distributed in March and unemployment benefits end on September 6th leaving more families off the aid. California, Maryland, Texas and Florida are some states offering checks and bonuses to some residents.
