Here’s When You Could Get a Second Stimulus Check
Here’s When You Could Get a Second Stimulus Check (Hint: Not in August)
by Robin Hartill, CFP® Senior Editor AUGUST 13, 2020
If you were counting on another stimulus check in August, we’ve got bad news for you: It’s highly unlikely that will happen. That doesn’t mean a second stimulus check isn’t coming. In fact, the odds are pretty good we’ll get another round eventually, considering it’s one of the few things both Democrats and Republicans agree on.
Here’s why we’ll probably be waiting well past Labor Day for the next stimulus check to arrive.
Why a Second Stimulus Check Isn’t Coming in August
Congress has been deadlocked over the next stimulus bill for weeks, but it isn’t the stimulus checks they’re fighting over.
The HEROES Act that passed the House of Representatives in May contained $1,200 for most adults and children in the U.S. That bill immediately fizzled in the Senate.
The Republican-proposed HEALS Act also contained $1,200 for most adults, though it limited payments for children and anyone claimed as a dependent to $500. Both versions would have used the same income limits as the first round.
So while there are a few details to sort out, both parties are more or less in agreement that there should be a second round of stimulus checks.
But lawmakers are at odds over a number of other issues, including the expanded unemployment benefits that expired in July, U.S. Postal Service funding and aid for struggling state and local governments.
President Trump issued four relief orders on Aug. 8 calling for a $300 weekly federal unemployment supplement and payroll tax suspension. The orders also extended federal student loan relief through Dec. 31 and gave vague instructions about eviction protections.
But Trump’s orders didn’t include a second stimulus check, Congress is about to go on recess and isn’t scheduled to reconvene again until Sept. 8.
That means we’ll be waiting until after Labor Day to see any movement on stimulus checks.

Rising Bond Yields Are Creating A Problem For The US Banking System
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black / Sovereign Man) October 13, 2026
In January 2021, two months before US inflation took off, a reporter asked Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell how much inflation the Fed was willing to tolerate.
Powell acted like he'd never heard of inflation— like it was crazy to even ask. He dismissed the notion of inflation entirely and said it was "far away and unlikely."

In 1938 the airline business was brand new— only 35 years had passed since the Wright brothers' first flight at Kitty Hawk. Hardly anyone had even seen an airplane. A coast-to-coast round trip cost about $260, half the price of a new car, so passengers were mostly very wealthy.
