Will Social Security and SSI claimants get a fourth stimulus check, conclusion
Dozens of lawmakers have pushed for recurring stimulus payments, but any hope was sidelined when lawmakers focused on the Build Back Better agenda.
While a scaled-down version of it was signed into law by President Joe Biden in August, it did not include stimulus check.
Currently, no talks about stimulus money are on the table, so Social Security claimants should not expect to get a $1,400 check.

The Senior Citizens League, a non-partisan advocacy group, has also been calling for a one-time $1,400 stimulus check for Social Security claimants, who are among the hardest hit by higher prices.
The group sent a letter to Congress last year, stating the cost-of-living adjustment, combined with inflation, will hit hard for many older Americans who are on a fixed income.
Shannon Benton with the Senior Citizens League previously told The Sun: "We have received hundreds of emails from people concerned about making ends meet.
"The high cost of living adjustment, for many, just exacerbated their financial woes by bumping their income above program limits to qualify for medicare savings programs and extra help."
Will Social Security and SSI claimants get a fourth stimulus check?
A fourth stimulus check is unlikely to be sent out to Social Security recipients before the end of the year.
This year, high inflation has caused millions of Americans to suffer, but the increased cost-of-living-adjustment for 2023 will help provide some relief for seniors.
Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) beneficiaries have been holding out hope that Congress will consider a fourth stimulus check.
There is a petition online that aims to convince lawmakers to send senior citizens a fourth, $1,400 stimulus check.
