Dec 2020

it was in an earlier version of the bill when still in negotiations but was eventually dropped in favor of picking up a group that did not get any the first go-around - "mixed immigrant households", with at least one person with a SS # and/or green card, plus it would provide the full $600 to each dependent child vs less than half the adult amount that happened the last go-around ($500 per child with $1200 each for parent(s) with the first stimulus). So it appears they were doing some shuffling of the money.

I'm not sure what is in the $2000 supplement bill, although I am guessing it is just a straight up supplement with no riders.
