Young adults who didn’t qualify for stimulus checks are now pushing to change that. The pandemic has taken a heavy hit on Gen Z and Millennials financially. While many of them used their stimulus checks toward essential supplies, there’s a chunk of young people who didn’t even receive the federal aid (due to the bill’s loopholes like excluding “adult dependents” that comprised of many high school and college students)—and now, they’re speaking out to get the policy changed. Some are starting online petitions through sites like Change.org, while others are contacting politicians directly. (CNBC)
