Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Unemployment checks are considered transfer payments, not government purchases. Government purchases refer to goods and services that the government buys from the private sector, such as new rifles for the military, salaries for public school teachers, and levees built by the Army Corps of Engineers. Transfer payments, on the other hand, refer to payments made by the government to individuals or households, such as Social Security benefits and unemployment insurance.
