Joe Biden's $2,000 stimulus checks: How soon could you get one?
President-elect Joe Biden is getting ready to unveil a multitrillion-dollar coronavirus rescue package that'll include his plan for a quick, third round of "stimulus checks" for most Americans. Biden last week promised $2,000 direct payments would "go out the door" soon if voters in Georgia gave him a Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate — and they did, through a pair of runoff elections.
Over the past two weeks, many people have been receiving their second COVID relief payments in the amount of $600. That's after an attempt to raise the amount to $2,000 failed in the closing days of 2020. Biden has referred to the $600 as a "down payment," with more to come.
Here's what we can currently say about whether and when you're likely to see a third stimulus check.
Vote results in Georgia set wheels in motion for new checks Biden made his remarks about $2,000 checks at a campaign rally in Atlanta, one day before a vote that unseated two Republican U.S. senators from Georgia. The Democratic wins in those races gives Biden's party control over both houses of Congress. That could make it easier for his proposals, like $2,000 stimulus checks, to become reality.
"That money will go out the door immediately to help people who are in real trouble," Biden said at the rally.
Many struggling consumers have been eager for the government to keep sending cash. Americans largely used their first stimulus payments for basics like groceries and utility bills, a survey from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics found. Some also invested the money, the survey said, or used it to meet various other needs. Those may have included buying affordable life insurance, as sales of policies have surged amid the pandemic.
When Biden says "immediately," just how quickly might that be? He's not scheduled to take office until Jan. 20, and the new Senate — with Democrats in charge — may not be seated until the 22nd. So, if there will be fresh relief payments, you're not likely to get one until February, at the earliest.
What if you need more than $600 right now?

September 17, 2026 Fidelity
Investing in stocks and bonds may reduce some types of risk and enhance return potential.
There are many wonderful attributes of cash and short-term investments. Money held in a bank account or in a short-term investment like a money market fund is generally easy to access. The risk of volatility or loss is extremely low—or even nonexistent. Many short-term options, like money-market funds or short-term CDs or Treasurys, even pay interest.

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black / Sovereign Man) September 30, 2026
Eight years ago in the summer of 2018, an automated monitoring system at the US government’s Social Security Agency flagged a questionable transaction and immediately forwarded it to a human worker at the agency to investigate.
It took more than a year for a Social Security employee to look into it. And it was painfully obvious— Social Security was paying too much ‘supplemental security income’ to the recipient.
