Fewer Americans may get a second stimulus check. What we know about the next round of payments

Another batch of one-time stimulus checks could be coming. But this time, far fewer Americans could get paid.

President Donald Trump has made it clear that he wants to include another batch of checks in the next coronavirus legislation.

But Senate Republicans have been slow to warm to the idea. One reason: the high cost of cutting millions of checks to Americans.

Now, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is considering a compromise: disbursing funds to people making $40,000 or less a year.

I figure Moscow Mitch will get his cut somehow.

Website is useless. Trying to call the IRS is extremely problematic. Don't want to hold for over an hour.

I will probably end up claiming it (as a credit) on my 2020 tax return next year.

The economy will get a lot worse without the help, and it can be argued that COVID-19 is more rampant than at the time of the other packages.

Help could have been given a long time ago if Repukes hadn’t stalled.
