'Within Three Weeks' — Mnuchin Announces When Americans Can Expect Stimulus Cash
The Senate passed the $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus package with a 96-0 vote to provide Americans with some financial relief. The House of Representatives is likely to agree, as well, on Friday.
On Thursday afternoon, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin made a big announcement about when people can expect to see some $$$.
From CNBC:
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Thursday that people will start getting relief checks within three weeks, as the country reels from the coronavirus pandemic.
[…]
The massive relief bill offers direct cash payments of up to $1,200 for individuals and $2,400 for couples, with $500 added for every child, based on 2019 tax returns for those who filed them and 2018 information if they have not. The benefit begins to phase out for individuals making $75,000 in income and ends completely for those making $99,000 or more.
Mnuchin noted, “Most of these will be direct deposit. It will be within three weeks.“
