In the United States, new initiatives are emerging to help residents cope with the severe inflation that is shaking the country. The current Democratic administration of Joe Biden has paved the way so that new aid payments can be generated from the states, today we are talking regarding one of the largest, since it reaches the figure of US$2,000.00.
In days past we told you regarding six american states that will deliver direct checks to their taxpayers in order to cushion the effect of high prices. In many of these territories, the aid adopted the tax refund modality, but in other cases they were traditional payments from the fiscal surplus of those states.
Such is the case of Pennsylvania where it is intended to help residents with a new economic stimulus that will be, this time, $2,000.00 USD. This is one more way of facing the difficult reality imposed by the excessive inflation prevailing in the United States.
In that state and nationwide, fuel and food prices continue to rise significantly each week. For example, gasoline touches the sky with its rates and breaks records day following day.
To give you an idea, the national average price of gasoline is already around $4,523 USD per gallon. Meanwhile, the inflation rate remains above 8% and exceeds figures recorded before, back in 1981.
Due to all these factors, many states have started issuing financial aid checks as a “relief” to face the current scenario.

Meanwhile, families that receive $50,000.00 USD or less monthly will receive a single payment of $2,000.00 USD.
Finally, if the income ranges between $50,000.00 USD and $80,000.00 USD, the households would receive $1,500.00 USD.
