+1000

They’ll pass another. It’s an election year and Trump and Senate Republicans will need to promote something back home.

If you had a large increase in income between 2018 and 2019, would the government use estimated numbers included in an extension request to determine eligibility for additional stimulus payments, or would they still rely on the 2018 income?

Yes, the HEROES ACT did indeed pass the House.

Now we are patiently awaiting for the Senate to decide later (hopefully!) this month when they come back.

Now remember the House is Democrat-controlled while the Senate is Republican-controlled.
And many in the Senate do not want to see a second Stimulus payment.

I know, the President IS saying he is all for one, but his words carry no weight.
How many times before has he stated that something will happen and it doesn’t??!

What about that wall he was talking about in ‘16??
Yes, exactly.

It's practical and efficient. The less people make, the more likely they are to actually spend the money and put it back in the economy.

Not gonna lie, I stuck my last "stimulus" money into my bank account. I can't fault them for limiting it more this time around.

I hope they include 17 and up and college students this time.

Income limiting these makes them 100% welfare.

Did you consider it welfare when you were included in the payout?

What are you talking about? It’s supposed to be a stimulus check not welfare. They should be sending these checks to everyone in the country regardless of income. They are meant to stimulate the economy not provide welfare assistance. They should just extend the $600 unemployment additions if they want to help only those in need. This is supposed to be a STIMULUS.

If you think that a single person making $40k is on “welfare assistance”, you have no clue what you’re talking about.

You’re the one that has no idea what you’re talking about if you don’t know what a stimulus vs welfare is. McConnell’s plan isn’t going to do a good job stimulating the economy nor is it going to do a good job as welfare. It’s a poss poor job of both.

I know what both of those are, thanks. Someone making $40k isn’t on welfare, not sure what’s so confusing about that for you. The previous stimulus also had a cap on income, and so will this one. They’re simply proposing lowering that cap.

With the unemployment numbers where they are and parents struggling to pay for childcare - you’d think they’d be raising the cap.

If they really want to stimulate the economy then they should have no cap and I believe we should have a UBI for everyone in the country for the duration.

The stimulus checks shouldn’t have income limits and certainly shouldn’t be limited to $40K. What does what I made in 2018 or 2019 have to do with the economy and circumstances right now?
