It's my pleasure to welcome you here to the Clark Howard Show, where we're here for

you with ideas and ways for you to save more and spend less.

And don't let anyone ever rip you off.

Based on your feedback starting today, we have a new Clark Rave segment coming up in

a little while.

We want to talk about the good things that people are doing in the midst of these difficult

times.

And coming up later, I want to tell you about some money that may well be coming in

your wallet in the next couple of weeks from insurers.

I'll tell you who's doing what and what to expect.

Speaking of which, as you probably have heard, the stimulus checks have started their roll

out actually first with direct deposits.

And these will go on.

It looks like till September till everybody has received the helicopter money, the $1200

per adult who income qualifies in the $500 for each dependent 16 and under.

So a family of four that qualifies, that means $3,400 coming into your checking account

sometime very soon, individual $1200.

And the other thing is the $600 of federal unemployment compensation that has been and

suspended animation.

State by state is starting to appear.

Many states will start paying that money this week.

I think quite a few more next week.
