The Daily Money
 
Wednesday, May 13

We're halfway through the week and the Daily Money has plenty of financial news to share with you.

It's David, and today's newsletter links you to our stories about the job market, stimulus checks and the possibility of taking an early loan on your Social Security benefits. Let's get going:

It's tough out there, and the numbers prove it. Economists estimate that 2.5 million Americans filed new applications for unemployment insurance last week, though the figure, to be revealed Thursday, is expected to continue to fall from a peak of 6.9 million at the end of March.

As happy as you are to receive a stimulus check, you may wonder why you didn't see more money. The IRS has now listed a group of reasons for why the dollar amount of your check might be, as the agency delicately puts it, "different than anticipated."

Want more news? Keep scrolling down.
