Stimulus funds from the U.S. government’s CARES Act have begun to be deposited in bank accounts, and checks are on the way. But some people still don’t know when they should expect to see their money arrive. In some cases, people still don’t know how much to expect, and others have questions about how to use (or save) it and what this money means for their taxes next year. Today, we have a pair of extension experts in family resource management who have tips and resources to help answer those questions.

Guests for this episode:

• Susie Latta is the family and consumer sciences agent in Marshall County.
• Joy Miller is the family resource management/adult development and aging agent in the Southwind Extension District.
