Your Money with Michelle Li

One woman asked us to help track down her third stimulus payment. She said despite the IRS tracker showing she's eligible, she has yet to receive a check.

Partial retirements are all the rage! They're exactly what they sound like (working less, but still working some.) Apparently, it's what the cool kids are doing in their early 60s, though there are a lot of things to consider--like healthcare. We talk to Jeff Sachs of Sachs Financial with his list of 5 things you should consider before taking on a partial retirement. 

If you're living in a state where federal unemployment benefits have been taken away early, take a cue from some Facebook strangers in Missouri. They rallied support from a labor activist group, Missouri Jobs with Justice, that is now suing the state to reinstate federal unemployment. Their questions -- why leave money on the table when other states are getting these benefits? Will backpay be considered? How can the governor interfere with federal aid? The group goes to court August 30, 2021. This interview is with Richard von Glahn, the policy director with Missouri Jobs with Justice. 

More people say they need the state of Missouri to reinstate the federal unemployment benefits, and they believe it's their right. Several states have now sued to reinstate benefits claiming states have a duty to provide federal aid to people. The search is on for an attorney who will take the case.

At least 8 million stimulus debit cards are being sent out by the IRS and Treasury, and it's catching many people by surprise.
