Katie Morris is a single mom. She says during the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, her hours were cut back at work. But Morris says the first stimulus payment helped keep her family afloat.

“It caught me up on some bills and got my feet back underneath me,” Morris said.

While she’s once again working normal hours, she says a second stimulus would help with her higher summer costs and create a buffer if her hours are cut again.

The Democrats and Republicans agree that a second stimulus payment should go out, but how much and who it should go to is still being debated. The Democrat proposal is the HEROES Act, and the GOP says it’s close to announcing its own proposal.

Some haven’t received the first stimulus
