- The money comes from the budget signed by Florida governor Ron DeSantis. Stimulus checks will help support nearly 59,000 families.
- About a dozen states send similar checks, which are often referred to as inflation-relief checks.
- The state of Florida is distributing $ 450 per child to foster and adoptive families.
Florida is once again resorting to stimulus checks as a solution to the difficult situation; at least for nursing and adoptive families, as growing inflation continues to force prices; higher and leave many struggling to make ends meet.
The funding for the stimulus cheques is taken straight from the budget approved by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis; which includes $35.5 million for the state’s almost 59,000 households.
The letters delivered to the Floridians who got the cheque stated that “This one-time payment; can be utilised for everything from buying diapers to refilling at the pump.”
DeSantis also gave his approval in April to a budget of $100 million that would be given to first responders; like as firemen, paramedics, emergency medical technicians, law enforcement, and law enforcement officers; as a $ 1,000 one-time check.
Florida is not the only state turning to tax refunds; in the face of growing inflation and a problem in the standard of life. About a dozen states, including California, send identical checks; which are typically referred to as inflation-relief checks rather than “stimulus cheques.”
According to their income, around 23 million taxpayers will get one-time “middle class tax rebate” cheques from California; in the amount of between $200 and $1,050. The money to support the control is included in the state budget; that Governor Gavin Newsom and state lawmakers have authorised.

Even while the checks’ purpose isn’t nearly the same as the federal stimulus funds; given out by the government during the epidemic, they remind you of those payments.
Even while it may seem like a good idea to provide families; who are suffering with the growing cost of basics.
When individuals start to spend less, inflation often declines; however it can also be fueled by increased expenditure. The worry is that those who receive sizable cheques; would immediately spend them, adding fuel to the inflation fire.
DeSantis spokesperson Christina Pushaw asserted that the state of Florida’s one-time payment of $ 450 per kid; to foster and adoptive families will not result in an increase in inflation.
Pushaw stated on Twitter that “deficit spending and money printing by the federal government; which has occurred at a record rate since COVID, are what causes inflation”. “Thanks to @GovRonDeSantis’s prudent fiscal management, the state of Florida; enjoys a budget surplus as opposed to our indebted federal government.
