Why don't people on welfare get stimulus checks?

People on welfare may not receive stimulus checks for various reasons, including eligibility criteria set by the government, which often prioritize tax filers or those with earned income. Additionally, welfare programs are designed to provide ongoing financial support based on need, while stimulus checks are typically one-time payments aimed at boosting the economy. Furthermore, some welfare recipients may not be required to file taxes, making them ineligible for stimulus payments that are tied to tax returns.
