Here's how much money folks can expect to get from the Senate stimulus deal

Lawmakers struck a $2 trillion stimulus deal early Wednesday that includes sending checks directly to individuals amid the coronavirus crisis — but it will likely take until at least May before the money goes out.

Under the plan as it was being negotiated, single Americans would receive $1,200, married couples would get $2,400, and parents would see $500 for each child under age 17.

However, the payments would start to phase out for individuals with adjusted gross incomes of more than $75,000, and those making more than $99,000 would not qualify at all. The thresholds are doubled for couples.

You do realize you have to pay it back Right ?

Thing is you'd actually have to have made enough in 2018 to file a tax return. So the poorest of us all get nothing.

Uh, we need money for THIS MONTH'S bills, DUH1 May? I'll be in collections by then, credit ruined, loans cancelled, less ability ti borrow. But that's okay. As long as the big corporations and airlines are saved tomorrow, I'll fall on my sword for them.

Why do people who have continuity of pay get a check? That seems rather wasteful. Also...why do people who live on the welfare system get a check just for having kids? Don't we pay enough for them in food, housing, electricity, etc with our taxes?

Questions:
How does this work for people already on welfare? Why isn't the amount adjusted for the cost of living in the different areas in the country? A person making 50K in Kansas might be doing very well, a person making 50K in NYC is barely living above the poverty line.
They already screwed up the math where people on Unemployment plus stimulus would be making more than if they were working.
The Government is giving the Federal Reserve 2 trillion to use carte blanche. I want to really know why that is being done?????
Things people should be asking.

Insane. What if you weren’t working in 2018? If you graduated college in 18/19 you are screwed. Once again big companies getting bailed out.

Under a certain threshold it’s not REQUIRED you file but you still can and should. It’s free. Why not get something back?

This is on you. Blame yourself.

Look people i hope you realize this is a war. A war of luciferians who are in control of your minds and most of our government. Trump is an upsurpers as is the idealogy of a great america. Its must be rewrittin erased re birthed to a utopia NWO that will never be what they promise. Clinton paid off the debt, bushs ran it back up with the 911 OP, his dad Started wars over guys they put in power then turned on..obama pissed on the flag spit at us and spent like a drunk sailor. Trump is trying to reverse the trend thats been in full swing since the swamp killed kenedy over the FED. Now the swamp in collusion with the progressive left and china have given us another dagger to the fiscal heart. This virus was unleashed on purpose and it sickens me to be so angry and helpess.democrats are thieves evil vile scum. Trump is trying to keep the body count down. From an op that plans to stop his agenda. We have just allowed another chained to be thrown on our necks.

9:20; Follow the Money. This has nothing to do with you,except passing the money thru your hands to the banks, Walmarts, Amazon ,politicians,ect

The government is not giving the money, they are getting the money from the Federal Reserve. Where are they getting the money? (Hint:no where/thin air)

Been over 7 weeks since filing my tax return, would be happy to receive that refund check.

I do believe Pelosi wanted money for Kennedy center - that's has all been turned down. Every one seems to be confused on this stimulus bill. Please do your homework - less stress.

You wipe out an 11 BILLION DOLLAR debt for the postal service and give them 15 BILLION on top of that over two years but individuals will get 1200 bucks? And that's only if you're already living below the poverty level. UNBELIEVABLE how dumb and naive you people are. You can keep my 1200 give it to the welfare baby momma's or illegals I don't want your crumbs

No checks to the men and women black and white who have children out of wedlock and each spilt the claim and some end up with 10 to 15 k.

Pay attention to which political party is pushing the huge corporate bailouts and which is supporting the little people and small business.
