Some Washington DC families are going to be receiving a $1,000 dollar stimulus check, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser has announced.
The money will be drawn from the Pandemic Emergency Assistance Fund that was created under Biden’s American Rescue Plan.
The Epoch Times reported:
Some low-income families in Washington, D.C., are set to receive a payment of $1,000 as they prepare to return to school, according to Mayor Muriel Bowser on Thursday.
“We know that back-to-school time can be an expensive time of year for families—new uniforms, haircuts, supplies. There are a lot of expenses all at once,” Bowser said. “So we are disbursing these funds now to give families an extra cash bump during a busy time of year so that our students and families can have a strong start to an important school year.”
Families enrolled in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) are slated to receive the one-time payments, which were provided via the Congress-passed American Rescue Plan in 2021, over the next several weeks. The mayor’s office said that 15,000 families are enrolled in the program.
What about all us old farts trying to survive on social security? What help do we get? Right!! NONE!!!
Why not make them all get a job instead? Everywhere you look is “Help wanted” signs.
Now, that’s a novel idea.
