37. If they were making $3230K before the pandemic...

They didn't get the first stimulus. So if their income dropped that significantly, they're getting more than they did before.
I'm kinda shocked that after weeks of screams about keeping the money out of poor peoples' hands, we're now going after 6-figure incomes.

Biden has agreed to narrow eligibility for the $1,400 stimulus payments. ($80,000) [View all] Nevilledog Mar 2021 OP

I get my promised stimulus but a lot won't, and this is going to be a big problem in 2022 and 2024 liskddksil Mar 2021 #1

Does that mean a faster phase out after 75K? Or phase-out starts lower? AZSkiffyGeek Mar 2021 #2

Only those making up to $80,000 (single) get anything under this proposal nt liskddksil Mar 2021 #3

faster after 75k dsc Mar 2021 #4

Phased out or zero? DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2021 #10

Sounds like phased from 75-80K AZSkiffyGeek Mar 2021 #12

phased out from what I read dsc Mar 2021 #16

So some people will get $600 from Trump, nothing from Biden? leftstreet Mar 2021 #5

Yes, could be disastrous for us nt liskddksil Mar 2021 #6

No AZSkiffyGeek Mar 2021 #9

What did they get from Trump? leftstreet Mar 2021 #11

If they made more than 75K they got less than 600 AZSkiffyGeek Mar 2021 #15

Something from Trump, nothing from Biden leftstreet Mar 2021 #19

You said $600 AZSkiffyGeek Mar 2021 #25

I'm not sure about exactly how many will be affected Elessar Zappa Mar 2021 #31

You are talking about qazplm135 Mar 2021 #44

Ok, I re-read the proposal Elessar Zappa Mar 2021 #68

Those are 2019 numbers for most MoonlitKnight Mar 2021 #73

that's why they need to file their taxes qazplm135 Mar 2021 #85

Many cannot file yet MoonlitKnight Mar 2021 #88

I don't see why this is a problem mcar Mar 2021 #13

Two reasons that I can see. Elessar Zappa Mar 2021 #17

They should agree to this, then do ANOTHER stimulus in June, this time just direct payments LaMouffette Mar 2021 #18

They cannot do another one, it will be filibustered and zero chance 10 Rethugs cross over Celerity Mar 2021 #77

Can we at least try? I think we should try. Trying seems to be a good idea. ahoysrcsm Mar 2021 #83

In theory, it isn't so bad. mvd Mar 2021 #27

A phase out seems fairer DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2021 #36

So what happens if this passes the Senate. It still doesn't match the House proposal. OrlandoDem2 Mar 2021 #33

Yep. It goes to conference committee. More delays and more chances for RW BS. Sibelius Fan Mar 2021 #41

Just Brilliant. Just gave Republicans a reason to say this is why they didn't vote for it Thrill Mar 2021 #38

Some kind of compromise with republicans PatSeg Mar 2021 #43

This is not a Compromise with Republicans - not one will vote for this. It is a compromise liskddksil Mar 2021 #45

Excerpt from the story in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Deminpenn Mar 2021 #61
