Why are only certain states giving fourth stimulus checks?
<|assistant|>
The U.S. government is giving out stimulus checks to eligible citizens in selected states as a form of economic stimulus. This is because the criteria for receiving a stimulus check depends on an individual's state of residency, with certain states being more affected by the economic downturn than others. Thus, only those states that have been hit particularly hard are providing stimulus checks to their citizens.
