6 Tips for Using Your Economic Stimulus Payment
|
|
The federal government is sending out payments to help certain Americans who have been negatively impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. Here are 6 tips from the National Credit Union Foundation that are designed to help you decide how to use your economic impact payment safely and in a way that benefits your financial health & well-being:1. Prioritize. Focus on the bills that keep a roof over your head, the lights on and food on the table. Check with your local utility and communications providers as many are working with consumers to waive fees, keep the power on and your internet connection working.2. Talk with us. First South has many ways we can help you with your loans and fees so you can use your payment for what you need now.3. Save some of it. Even if you set aside $100 - $200, that can provide a cushion for bills that are coming in a couple of weeks. America Saves has resources and information to help with access to food and unemployment benefits.4. Don't hoard cash. Keep in your account with us as your accounts are federally insured up to $250,000.5. Protect yourself from scams. There are lots of bad guys out there trying to use this crisis to get your stimulus check and your money. What out for suspicious emails, texts or phone calls. 6. Pay your taxes. The deadline for filing and paying income taxes has been extended to July 15. If you haven't saved to pay your income taxes and don't need the funds to support yourself and your family, then you may want to consider using the economic impact payment to take care of your tax bill.First South Financial stands ready to help you during this highly unusual time.
