$1400 Stimulus Checks
ShareTweetEmail

There’s a big buzz about the $1400 Stimulus Checks. Here’s a quick summary of what happened and what’s next.

  • More than 24 hours after the debate started on President Biden’s coronavirus relief package, the Senate approved the bill Saturday.
  • The bill extends unemployment benefits through September 6.
  • The first $10,200 in unemployment insurance benefits isn’t taxable.
  • It all started on Friday morning when an amendment by Bernie Sanders failed to pass that would raise the federal minimum wage.
  • After close to 12 hours, the vote on Sanders’ amendment ended shortly before 11 p.m., making it the longest vote in modern Senate history.
  • The package now goes to the House, which needs to approve the Senate-tweaked legislation before it goes to Mr. Biden for his signature.
  • Democratic control of the Senate and the White House allowed Democrats to move forward on this bill without Republican support, ultimately rallying around Mr. Biden’s first legislative effort after a series of internal disputes
  • Direct deposits may go out the week of March 22.

Where does the money for stimulus checks come from?

  • The power of borrowing. For the most part, the federal government doesn’t tax people enough to cover the bills, or in this case, the stimulus checks.
  • The Treasury Department borrows money when Congress passes a trillion-dollar bill.
  • The Treasury Department issues a bond or money order that is really an “IOU”. They promise to pay the money back later along with some interest.
  • Treasury Department comes up with the money mainly by working with Federal Reserve
