Second Stimulus Check Update: House Passes Bill for $2,000 Payments
Is a $2,000 second stimulus check still possible? Yes…although it's not likely. Even though President Trump signed a massive COVID relief and government funding bill that authorizes $600 second-round stimulus checks, Democrats are still pushing for $2,000 payments. In fact, the House of Representatives, which is controlled by Democrats, passed a bill on Monday – the CASH Act of 2020 – that would increase the amount of your second stimulus check from $600 to $2,000 – and do more.
