Within the next several weeks, most Americans may start to receive their third stimulus check from the federal government during the coronavirus pandemic.
The Senate approved a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill Saturday, which includes $1,400 stimulus checks. If the House passes the Senate version of the bill Tuesday, it will land on President Joe Biden's desk for his final approval.
The bill gives single people making up to $75,000 a $1,400 check. Eligibility for single people is cut off for anyone earning over $80,000.
For couples who file a joint federal income tax return, the phase-out begins at $150,000 and ends at $160,000.
Couples earning $150,000 or less will get a $2,800 check. They will also get $1,400 for each dependent child claimed on their most-recent tax filings.
The bill also extends unemployment benefits to $300 a week through August, expands the child tax credit to offer parents up to $3,600 per child, $350 billion in funding for state and local governments and billions for vaccine distribution.
If you've already filed your 2020 tax return, the payment will likely be based on that. If you haven't the government will use your 2019 return.
