3 REASONS WHY UP TO 1 MILLION BLACK FAMILIES MAY NOT GET A STIMULUS CHECK

Nationwide -- The Trump Administration has approved a $2 trillion dollar stimulus bill that will send money to millions of families to help compensate them during the COVID-19 outbreak. Individuals can received as much as $1,200 each, and families can receive more than $2,500. But Randy Hughes, founder of Counting Pennies, a Black-owned nationwide accounting and tax firm, says that a lot of African Americans may not be getting a check.

Here are his reasons why:

#1 - No Bank Account: The funds will primarily be direct deposited, but more than 10 million adults in the United States don't have bank accounts. And yes, many of these are African Americans!

#2 - Did Not File Taxes: The amount of funds that a household can receive depends on the amount of money earned in either 2019 or 2018. That amount will be based on the tax return filed for that respective year. Sadly, more than 15 million people did not file taxes in either year. And again, many of these are African Americans.

#3 - Have Recently Moved: Because millions of people have not filed taxes in the past year or two, it's very possible that their mailing address with the IRS has changed. This means that those that don't have a bank account could receive a check, but it may be delivered to the wrong address.

Dr. Venus took to Facebook Live to help her following not lose hope as more and more disheartening news about the Coronavirus, and the uncertainty about the length of the quarantine, poured through the media.

She continues, "People are afraid. And when a person is afraid it's easy to focus on the fear. That's what I did when I was living on the streets and eating out of trash cans in my teens. My math teacher, we call her Nanna, helped me see a different future for my life by riding me around in her car to rich white neighborhoods. She knew if she could help me dream of a different future I would take different actions than drinking, getting high or having babies."

Dr. Charles Singleton Clarifies For The 3rd Time, Why The Crash Of The US Economy Is Coming Sooner Than You Think

Nationwide — Yes, my friends, as previously published, Saturday, November 17, 2018, Wednesday, November 21, 2018, and Thursday, January 10, 2019, “The Crash of the US Economy is Coming Sooner Than You Think."  I recently wrote, looking back over the last 11 years, our USA economy is still recovering from its Great Recession of 2007- 2009.

Thus, as written, “Consciously speaking, the tremendous cost of unsuspected environmental disasters, such as earthquakes, storms, fires, and mankind’s global warming trends will devastate the USA financial resources; especially, substantial annual revenue.” Fast forward and now, exactly 15 months following Thursday, January 10, 2019, the current environmental novel coronavirus 2019 disaster is staggeringly crippling the United States economy.
