Both Democrat and Republicans are willing to send a second round Stimulus out to Americans, especially since their is a threat for a second shut down. However, the prolonging of theses funds come from the calculated contributions.
Republicans argue that the proposed three trillion dollars and 600 dollar bonus is way too much. Pelosi says the 600 dollar unemployment bonus is simply because it simplifies calculations for people who work on base plus commission pay or their wages very. Breaking down a percentage would be too complicated.
Decisions for the second stimulus are expected to finalize Monday otherwise workers may have to wait until October. The bill will provide 1200 dollar Stimulus Checks with a 70 percent income rate for unemployed citizens.
As far as those who are eligible for the check, it would be determined by the information below.
Guidelines for the first stimulus check:
- Individual tax filers with adjusted gross income up to $75,000 (up to $150,000 for married couples filing joint returns) received the full payment.
- For filers with income above those amounts, the payment amount was reduced and then phased out for individuals whose income exceeded $99,000 (or $198,000 for joint filers with no children).
According to Forbes, Once the plan is announced, there could still be weeks of negotiation with the Democrat-led House of Representatives before all the details are solidified. After an agreement is made, the stimulus bill won’t take effect until the president signs it into law.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told reporters Saturday that the checks will arrive in August, but that still leaves a lot of room for uncertainty. A major determining factor is whether the bill will be passed before August 7th, which is the Senate’s last day in session before it’s August recess. If the negotiations aren’t wrapped up before then, they will have to pick it back up when they return September 8th, meaning checks could be delayed into late September. Once the bill is signed into law, it’s just a matter of when the IRS sends the checks.
