Bod on the Block: Students weigh in on the next level of stimulus
The next level of the stimulus money will include $1,400 for all dependents and members of a household with an income under or at $150,000 per year. How will this impact you and your family?

“Well, it wouldn’t really impact me or my family at all. I would not be able to get the new stimulus.”

“If I would get the $1,400 stimulus check I would be able to comfortably take care of my rent for almost 5 months. That would make a huge impact on me and I wouldn’t have to work to make any money on top of school and track. So I wouldn’t be as stressed.”

“As a student, this check would benefit me in many ways. With the stimulus check, I can use it to fund my college expenses.”

“For me it would probably just help with tuition! That would be a good thing to not have to worry about as much.”

“The check would put $1,400 in my pocket, which would be good because the job I am currently working at is not that well paying. I will have some more money to spend, which would be helpful.”

“The check would help me pay my rent for about 6 months, which would be a huge help not having to worry about that.”

“It would impact me because I could put it towards school. Being a student-athlete and a full-time student makes it difficult to find part time employment because of that schedule. I would be able to use the money either for school or put it into savings and use it for something later down the road.”

It doesn’t look like most Americans will be getting a fourth stimulus check this year. But some California residents are. Last week, a batch of Golden State Stimulus II payments arrived in bank accounts across California. The first round — amounting to 600,000 payments — went out on Aug. 27; and the Sept. 17 batch was much larger, with at least 2 million Californians receiving the benefit.
