The first three stimulus checks issued to help Americans cope with the pandemic maxed out at $1,200, $600 and $1,400, respectively, and were given out to all adult U.S. People can start receiving Social Security benefits when they turn 62, or if they meet certain disability requirements. However, this would be the first stimulus check aimed at a specific demographic: Americans who are on Social Security. If TSCL's push is successful, this would be the fourth stimulus check since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in early 2020. "We are hearing from dozens of you who say you have cut spending by putting off filling prescriptions, reducing the number of meals you eat to just one per day." "Soaring prices are battering the household budgets of Social Security recipients like you," an email to TSCL's members stated last week. The group plans to use the responses to help it lobby Congress for additional $1,400 checks targeted to people who receive Social Security.
In the messages, TSCL asked members how they've been impacted by inflation this year. The Senior Citizens League (TSCL) recently told members via email about its plan to push for special stimulus payments to help offset potential spikes in Medicare and other expenses for older Americans. A nonpartisan group is asking Congress to issue another round of $1,400 stimulus checks, and this time the payments would go just to older Americans.
