Each guide explains the help that is provided:

If the current financial crisis continues, it is likely that the $1,200 stimulus check is just a first in what may be a recurring amount through the summer.
The relief guides also provide links to check what support is being offered by each state.
Alistair Bambridge, partner at Bambridge Accountants New York, explains: “These guides bring together in one place all the coronavirus reliefs available for employed and self-employed individuals.
“The relief guides explain in a clear and simple way what help is available and how to claim - for many people they are in financial difficulty now and it can be difficult to access the support they need.
“There are many individuals who don't realize that they need to file their tax return to be able to claim the $1,200 stimulus check. Those employed and self-employed tax returns should be filed as soon as possible to ensure that people have access to all the reliefs available and crucially the $1,200 repayment.Contact Alistair Bambridge, alistair@bambridgeaccountants.com, +1 646 956 5566.
