dcc.Store is expecting a list or a tuple - plotly-dash

Question

I am getting the following error when trying to store a dictionary in dcc.Store. Doesn't it take a dict to store data?
dash._grouping.SchemaTypeValidationError: Schema: [<Output `user_status_check.data`>]
Path: ()
Expected type: (<class 'tuple'>, <class 'list'>)
Received value of type <class 'dict'>:
{'user_status': [{'status': 'update', 'user_id': None, 'screen_name': 'mfa_russia'}]}
here's the layout
layout = html.Div([
tw_user_navbar,
popup_row,
dcc.Store(id='user_data_values'),
dcc.Store(id='user_status_check', storage_type='session', clear_data =True),
and the callback, not sure how helpful it would be in answering the question
#app.callback(
[
Output('user_status_check', 'data')
],
[
Input('screen_name', 'value'),
Input('user_id', 'value'),
]
)
def check_user_status(input_screen_name, input_user_id):
if input_screen_name or input_user_id:
# check if the user exists in the db
from tw_mod.load.pg_db_functions import db_user_check
user_in_db = db_user_check(screen_name=input_screen_name, user_id=input_user_id)
# if so check if the user information is up-to-date
if user_in_db:
from tw_mod.tw_procssing import check_account_status
account_status = check_account_status(user_id=input_user_id, screen_name=input_screen_name)
if account_status:
return {'user_status':[{'status':'no_update','user_id':input_user_id, 'screen_name':input_screen_name}]}
else:
return {'user_status':[{'status':'update','user_id':input_user_id,
