Why are only certain states giving fourth stimulus checks?
<|assistant|>
In order to receive fourth stimulus checks, individuals must have lived in a state that adopted the Economic Recovery Payments program. The Economic Recovery Payments program was an initiative offered by the IRS that provides certain eligible individuals or couples, with income and filing requirements, a one-time payment to be used during calendar year 2010. At this time, not all states have enacted this program and only certain states are offering these fourth stimulus checks.
