Stimuli Update Feb. 15, 2021 ASL Patriot Broadcast Signed News.

Rough Transcript:
Today, Monday, House Democrats introduced a proposal that would send $1,400 payments to individuals earning $75,000 or less and $2,800 to married couples earning $150,000 or less. According to CBS news, President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief plan would provide a third round of federal stimulus checks to millions of Americans. Congress on both sides has expressed support for the proposal, but they are still arguing about who should be eligible for the $1,400 direct payments by looking at the threshold table. The previous first stimuli checks threshold were $75k single, $150k married and then reduced checks after that. The phase out was at $99k single, $198k married. The second round’s phase out was lowered to $87k single, $174 married. That could result in Democrats lowering the income threshold to qualify for a payment to single people who earn $50,000 or less and married couples with income of $100,000 or less, according to the Washington Post.
White House officials are determined to finalize the legislation before mid-March because that’s when the unemployment benefits runs out. The U.E. benefits which is currently $300 in weekly additional jobless aid expires on March 14. They are saying that if the pandemic hurt your income in 2020, making your income threshold go under the limit or if you had a child last year, it may be worth it to file your tax return as soon as possible. If you had a kid but didn’t report it on this form- IRS will not count that kid, for example. Make sure your tax info is current so that the IRS sends your stimulus check based on your updated income and family status. If nothing changed, then no hurry- just file before April 15 th! If all passes as it looks like- IRS should start sending them out late March. Will it pass? We shall see…
