Sunday Funday is going to hit different if Americans start receiving their stimulus. According to White House press secretary Jen Psaki, who informed reporters of the update on Thursday, deposits could start hitting this weekend.
“People can expect to start seeing direct deposits hit their bank accounts as early as this weekend,” Psaki said at a press briefing. This is, of course, just the first wave, payments to eligible Americans will continue throughout the course of the next several weeks.”
The news came minutes after President Joe Biden signed the $1.9 trillion Covid relief bill that included the $1,400 stimulus check, an extended $300 per week unemployment boost through September and a child tax credit expansion for a year, according to a report by CNBC.
