Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee, led by Rep. Jimmy Gomez of California, wrote a letter to President Joe Biden urging him to include recurring direct stimulus payments and unemployment benefits tied to economic conditions in his American Families Plan.
The letter cited a poll from April that found that six in 10 adults said the latest round of stimulus checks would last them less than three months. Many respondents said they’d spend the checks on necessities like food and rent, stressing the need for long-term payments.
