Gov. Wolf: $2,000 Direct Payments to Pennsylvanians 'Will Make a Life-Changing Difference for Families in Communities Across the Commonwealth'

Governor Tom Wolf was joined by Representative Sara Innamorato and local officials at Roots of Faith ministries in Sharpsburg to continue calling on Pennsylvania's Republican-led General Assembly to finally take action and support Pennsylvanians by passing legislation for the $500 million PA Opportunity Program, which would send $2,000 checks directly to Pennsylvanians in need using money the commonwealth already has in the bank.

"This money will make a life-changing difference for families in communities across the commonwealth, providing a much-needed buffer against prices that are artificially and temporarily higher due to inflation," said Gov. Wolf. "Let's put this cash back in the pockets of Pennsylvanians, to help cover the higher costs of gas, groceries, and everything else.

"Why on earth wouldn't we act to do all of that, when we have the funds necessary to make this investment in the people of Pennsylvania, right now?" Gov. Wolf said. "I am once again calling on Republican leaders in the General Assembly to send a bill to my desk to help the people of Pennsylvania."
