This Second Stimulus Check Would Pay The Most

To receive the full amount of a second stimulus check, under both these proposals, your adjusted gross income must be no more than $75,000 for individuals and $150,000 for married/joint filers. If you earn more than $99,000 (individuals) or $198,000 (married/joint filers), you would not be eligible for a second stimulus check under these proposals. If you have dependents, however, here’s how the $1,200 stimulus check proposal would work: A family of four, with married/joint filers, could receive up to $3,400 under this proposal:Importantly, many Democrats support a $1,200 dependent payment, rather than the $500 dependent payment in the Heals Act. For example, House Democrats passed the Heroes Act, which included a second stimulus check of $1,200 and a dependent payment of $1,200. If you have dependents, however, here’s how the $1,000 stimulus check proposal would work: A family of four, with married/joint filers, could receive up to $4,000 under this proposal:If you have dependents, the $1,000 second stimulus check would provide $600 more to a family of four than the Republican second stimulus check in the Heals Act. Under this proposal, adults and children with a valid Social Security Number — regardless of age or dependent status — each would receive a second stimulus check of $1,000.
