A $1,200 Check Isn’t the Only Help Americans Received This Year. Here Are the Other Covid Relief Measures Set to Expire in 2021
Another stimulus check most likely won't happen in 2020, according to Garrett Watson, a senior policy analyst at the Tax Foundation.
The current goal for Congress is to keep the final relief measures of 2020 under the $1 trillion mark, said Watson.
Another round of $1,200 payments would cost north of $300 billion and leave little room for other funding urgently needed across the country. A bill with direct payments would need to be much larger and most likely won't materialize until President-elect Joe Biden is in office, according to Watson. This would make the passing of major legislation by February an optimistic timeline.
