One of the areas with clear glitches is the disbursement of the latest round of stimulus payments. But the federal government has their information to send them their stimulus payments because they receive Social Security retirement, survivor or disability payments; or Supplemental Security Income, Railroad Retirement Board or Veterans Affairs benefits. However, the December stimulus payments did not have the same holdup. In new research, economist Eliza Forsythe found that only about 41 percent of the jobless were actually receiving unemployment aid in recent months. She was finally approved for the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program in September, but the payments abruptly stopped in January.
