Is a second stimulus check coming?

May 11, 2020

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Millions of Americans received a stimulus check from the federal government. It's unclear if a second one could be coming. Lawmakers in Washington D.C. are kicking around different proposals, from monthly checks to a payroll tax rebate. There are no concrete plans for a second check yet, though.

The Emergency Money for the People Act would provide $2,000 monthly payments to certain citizens and non-citizens. People would receive additional payments if they have dependent children. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-Beaverton) and Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Portland) are both co-sponsors on the bill.
