Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is proposing direct payments of $1,200 per person and $2,400 for couples amid the coronavirus outbreak, according to a copy of the legislation obtained by The Associated Press.
The GOP leader was poised to unveil the sweeping response Thursday as Congress raced to draft a $1 trillion measure to shore up for households and the U.S. economy.
Among key elements would be the direct payments to Americans, aligned with the Trump administration's push for quick cash aid.
Under McConnell's proposal, the minimum payments would be $600, and aid would be phased down at income thresholds of $75,000 for individuals and $150,000 per couple.
Additionally, there would be $500 payments for each child.

No free money for me as I'm over the threshold.
That's okay, I'd rather see money going back to the citizens rather than stay with the government.

Looks like $0 for me. Definitely not complaining though.
Praying the outlay doesn’t sink the economy — either now or in the long run.

But they’re borrowing it from US!
It’s not a windfall from a surplus.
It’ more taxpayer burden down the line.
Ah, screw it. I’m gonna cash the check anyway.
If it’s a sliding scale I won’t get much.
I make about 71k.
Peanuts in NYC.
You’d think I’d work a side job instead of spending all my time here :)

I really do not need this check, but will not rip it up.

I have to laugh. To people in high cost of living states, especially with kids, 75K or 120K, isn’t making ends meet.
This is just stupid.
