If they have dependent children, they will also receive $ 600 for each child. People with incomes just above this level would receive a partial payment that decreases by $ 5 for every $ 100 of income.
- When could my payment arrive? Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told CNBC that he expected the first payments to be made before the end of the year. However, it will take a while for everyone to receive their money.
- Does the agreement concern unemployment insurance? Legislators agreed to extend the length of time people can receive unemployment benefits and restart an additional federal benefit that is on top of the usual state benefits.

Legislators could also potentially approve an emergency funding bill to keep the government going.
“As the economy continues to stall, people are hanging by a thread and desperately need this government relief so they can afford essentials like food, medicine, diapers, phone bills and housing,” said Massachusetts representative Richard E. Neal. the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. “It is devious and cruel for the president to refuse to sign the law now and possibly end this brutal year by causing even more pain and suffering to families in need.”
The president’s implicit threat to reject the spending package has angered Republicans on Capitol Hill, who said Mr. Trump’s reprimand of the legislation took them by surprise after overwhelmingly supporting the bill.

“I hope the president will look back at this and conclude that the best thing to do is to sign the bill,” Republican Senator Roy Blunt told reporters this week. “I think it would be to the president’s advantage if we talked about his performance rather than questioning decisions made late in the administration, but again, Congress has very little control over what the president can say.”
