$1,390 stimulus check in August? Here's the truth about social security rumor
There are rumors going around that Americans might get a stimulus check this year. Many taxpayers are asking if they'll see extra money in their accounts soon. Some reports say a $1,390 payment could be coming. But right now, there's no plan for a new stimulus check, according to The Sun. No federal stimulus check approved yet; lawmakers debate relief bills while some states provide direct payments and programs to support struggling residents.(Pexel) Congress has not approved any stimulus package. Donald Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' did not include any direct payments. On top of that, the Senate has left for summer break and won't return until September 2. That means nothing will happen until at least then. Still, some lawmakers have introduced relief ideas. Senator Josh Hawley, a Republican, is pushing a plan to send $600 checks to individuals. For a family of four, that would add up to $2,400. Hawley said Americans should get this money because the last four years under President Biden have hurt families' savings and finances. But Hawley's idea still has a long way to go. First, it has to go through a committee. There, lawmakers can review and make changes to the bill. If the committee approves it, the full Senate will debate and vote on it. Also Read: $1,702 stimulus checks in August: When will you receive the payment? Eligibility and more Bill needs Senate, House, and President approval If the Senate passes the bill, it goes to the House of Representatives. Both the House and Senate have to agree on the same version of the bill. Then it goes to the President. The President can sign it into law or veto it. If it's vetoed, Congress can still pass it with a two-thirds vote. There was also talk about a "Doge dividend" when Elon Musk was in the White House. That plan would have given out relief money using savings from the Department of Government Efficiency. But the idea didn't go far. Musk has left the White House, and even before that, top Republicans weren't sold on the plan. House Speaker Mike Johnson said the idea might sound good politically, but it doesn't line up with conservative values. 'Fiscal responsibility is what we do as conservatives,' he said at CPAC in February. He said the focus should be on reducing the national debt. Even though there's no federal stimulus check coming right now, some states are offering their own relief. New York and Georgia offer inflation relief checks up to $500 In New York, people will start getting inflation relief checks worth up to $400 starting in October. That program is funded by $2 billion. In Georgia, millions of taxpayers have already received checks up to $500. South Carolina also has a program called the Palmetto Payback fund. It helps residents claim property or money that legally belongs to them but hasn't been collected.

Best chapters of India-Israel partnership still lie ahead, says Netanyahu
Israeli President Isaac Herzog and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday extended warm wishes on India's Independence Day calling for strengthening the flourishing ties and emphasising that the best chapters on bilateral ties still lie ahead. Sending his heartfelt greetings to President Droupadi Murmu and all the people of India, Herzog took to X to say: Your friendship with Israel in these difficult days strengthens us deeply. May the bond between our nations continue to flourish and may we soon see the safe return of all our hostages. Congratulating India and dear friend Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Independence Day, Netanyahu said Israel and India are two proud democracies, bound by history, innovation, and friendship. Our nations have achieved much together and the best chapters of our partnership still lie ahead, Netanyahu wrote in a message on X. Amir Ohana, who in 2023 became the first Speaker of the Israeli Knesset (Parliament) to visit India, also took to X posting a message in Hindi congratulating his counterpart, Om Birla, and Indians on the occasion. Earlier on Friday, India's Ambassador to Israel, JP Singh, hoisted the tricolor to celebrate India's 79th Independence Day in the presence of about 350 people from the Indian community. In his address, Singh emphasised on efforts to deepen our strategic relationship as one team India. Israel is home to about 40,000 Indians. I can see the warmth Israelis have for Indians. In particular, they are very appreciative of our workforce and our caregivers, Singh pointed out, in an apparent reference to the massive Indian workforce employed by Israel to deal with an acute shortage of workers in various sectors. He also thanked the Indian Jewish community for being a powerful bridge between the two nations. People from the Indian community and Jews of Indian origin turned up from all over Israel to celebrate Independence Day. Several people turned up at the Cricket club in the southern city of Beersheba, braving a heat wave, to celebrate India's Independence Day. We have lived in Israel since our childhood but have not forgotten our Indian roots. We still hold the cultural values alive and never forget that it was the only country where Jews never faced anti-semitism. We are proud of our Indian origin, chairman of Beersheba Cricket Club Naor Gudker told PTI.
