Stimulus Checks: What States Are Receiving the Most Payments?

Economic impact payments have become one of the most hot-button topics as the U.S. continues to feel the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. As a part of the $2 trillion coronavirus relief package Congress passed this spring, people across the country have been receiving payouts of around $1,200 to help pay bills and/or stimulate the economy. However, joint-filers and those with dependents could receive more.

The checks began to make their way out in mid-April but saw quite a few hiccups along the way. Some people were reporting that some checks went to the wrong bank account, raising many red flags among hopeful recipients. For those still awaiting the benefit, the IRS put together a way for each individual to track when the check will come in. (There is also a hope among some that another check will roll out, this time equating to $2,000._
