The $200 and $1400 stimulus payments refer to federal relief initiatives introduced in the U.S. to support individuals and families during the COVID-19 pandemic. The $1400 payment was part of the American Rescue Plan passed in March 2021, targeting eligible Americans based on income limits and tax filing status. The $200 payment, while less commonly discussed, was proposed in several plans, including as a monthly Social Security boost or prescription drug cost offset, though not all were approved.
