promoearn: Did you check for your check? 👀💸

Sunday, March 14

People cross Colfax Avenue as a sign warns of heavy snow on March 14, 2021 in Denver, Colo.

Here's the biggest news you missed this weekend

Stimulus checks roll out to Americans. A winter storm rocks Colorado, dumps record snow in Wyoming. It's the weekend's biggest news.

$1,400 stimulus checks roll out

The third round of stimulus checks started hitting bank accounts for eligible Americans over the weekend, shortly after President Joe Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act into law Thursday. Eligibility for the $1,400 checks is based on tax returns from 2020 or 2019, whichever is more recent, the Internal Revenue Service said. Already though, some people have noticed issues in receiving their stimulus cash . Some Americans say their stimulus checks were deposited in the wrong bank accounts this weekend, noting the last four digits of their bank account numbers were incorrect when they checked their payment status on the IRS website. The IRS on Saturday updated the "Get My Payment" tool on its website, where people can find out when a payment has been issued to them, as well as the payment date for direct deposit or mail.

Winter storm pounds Colorado, dumps record snow in Wyoming

Winter and spring collided Sunday as parts of Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and Nebraska were blasted with up to 4 feet of snow , while Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri braced for heavy rains, high winds, flooding and possible tornadoes. Cheyenne, Wyoming, saw snow totals of 25.8 inches – smashing a previous two-day record held since 1979, according to a tweet from the National Weather Service. And more could be coming – the weather service warned some areas could see up to 50 inches of snow and wind gusts of up to 60 mph before the weather eased Monday. In Colorado, some areas already had almost 30 inches of snow by noon Sunday and more than 2,000 flights were canceled in and out of Denver. Meanwhile in Texas, some areas were in recovery mode after being struck by tornadoes and heavy storms Friday and Saturday.

Fauci suggests 'normality' by July 4th, calls for Trump's help

Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union" that federal restrictions "will be much more liberal" and the U.S. could see a "considerable degree of normality" by the Fourth of July if U.S. cases drop as more Americans are vaccinated. But he also warned on Fox News Sunday that the U.S. must gradually lift restrictions or risk a wide-ranging lockdown to halt another surge. Now the nation just needs former President Donald Trump to help out, Fauci says. A recent new PBS NewsHour/NPR/Marist poll found 41% of Republicans saying they would not get one of the three federally authorized COVID-19 vaccines, compared to less than 15% of Democrats. "We've got to dissociate political persuasion from what's common sense, no-brainer public health things," Fauci said.
