Congress is giving you a new stimulus check — here's when to expect it
How much will you get — and when can you expect the money?
Politics
After many months of bickering, Washington is at long last sending new direct payments to Americans, to help households and the economy deal with the financial fallout from COVID-19.
Yes, we're talking about a second round of "stimulus checks."
They're included in a $900 billion coronavirus rescue package that Congress passed last week and President Donald Trump signed into law Sunday evening. A White House official has said the payments could go out surprisingly soon.
"More help is on the way," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (pictured) said days before Christmas when he announced that the compromise bill had been reached.
Trump complains that the checks are "measly," and he wants lawmakers to boost them. You may find the amount disappointing — and will want a plan to find other relief on your own.
