Trump checks are not stimulus checks, they are pandemic relief checks.
The checks are being called stimulus checks, not relief checks. Being on relief has a sort of insulting connotation, so stimulus, or ‘Economic Impact Payments’ is being used.
From the above article, “The move to place Trump’s name on the checks came after the president privately suggested doing so to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, the Post reported.
A president is not authorized to be a signer for legal disbursements by the U.S. Treasury, but administration officials said that Trump’s name would instead be featured below a line that reads, “Economic Impact Payment.”
An official from the Treasury Department’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service will be the official signatory of the stimulus checks.
