AMERICANS waiting on checks from the government will have to wait another day.
That’s because mail services and government offices are shut down Monday for Memorial Day.

The US Post Office closes on many federal holidays, with today being one of them.
Since some stimulus checks, benefits, and other direct payments are often mailed out, the shutdown means they aren’t coming today.
However, even online payments could be delayed.
Federal holidays mean the government shuts down most non-essential services.
That means regular payments may not be processed today as there are fewer government workers in their offices to do the necessary pencil pushing.
Memorial Day, celebrated each May, marks an unofficial start to summer as the country simultaneously remembers those who fought and died in the US Armed Forces.
Normal postal service is set to resume on Tuesday, May 28.
While there’s no need to check the mailbox today, it’s best to reach out to the relevant government agencies to determine exactly when your payments are expected to arrive.
INFLATION CHECKS
Some inflation relief programs are still paying out, despite a cooldown in inflation.
California has one such program.
the Golden State Stimulus Program began in 2020 to help with inflationary pressures.
The program is paying between $600 and $1,200 to those who qualify.
Taxpayers who did not receive payments will need to file their taxes from 2020.
However, any payments on their way are not likely to arrive today due to the holiday.
PLANNED PAYMENTS
In the wake of the pandemic, many state and federal agencies began sending out more cash to Americans.
The American Rescue Plan, the Biden administration’s major economic stimulus package, is still paying people through a variety of programs.
Congress passed the $1.9 trillion stimulus package in 2021.
However, some of these plans have proven controversial.
Uplift Harris, a Houston-area scheme to hand out millions in guaranteed income was recently blocked by the state’s Supreme Court.
Evanston, Illinois is also doling out cash to residents in certain neighborhoods.
Southern Californians are set to receive payments from a $10 million pot.
