DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) Durham Mayor Steve Schewel is part of a cross-country team of mayors striving to help people through the COVID-19 pandemic with an idea that s gaining traction in economic circles: a guaranteed income.
The Mayors for a Guaranteed Income penned a letter to President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris asking the future leaders to pass stimulus checks until the economy recovers from the pandemic. Schewel is one of 33 mayors in the coalition proposing an income floor that they feel would help communities and families thrive again. Mayors across the country agree, Schewel said in a tweet Friday. One more check isn t enough. Recurring payments until the economy recovers will best help those who have been so deeply affected by this crisis.
CHICAGO (WLS) The ABC7 I-Team has heard from numerous people who said they are waiting for both their tax refund and stimulus check, who filed their taxes around this time last year. Many wonder if the delay in their tax refund is contributing to their wait for the second stimulus check. Still no money; I can t get ahold of them. I called, and called, and called, said Alicia Farris of Elgin, Illinois.
Farris is waiting on $2,965 after filing in January of 2020. Almost $3,000; money that can go towards bills, our animals, our children in school. My internet was shut off, she said.

CINCINNATI (FOX19) - Issues with the second round of stimulus checks continue to pop up as some people are now learning they will not receive money this time around.
There is an important distinction to make though.
According to the IRS website, those who got money last time, but are now getting a message that says the stimulus is ânot availableâ this time can still get the stimulus money. The issue is they will have to wait when many people need help now.
