Coronavirus stimulus payments could be in bank accounts within hours. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchinsaid direct deposits could start being deposited Tuesday.
Paper checks will begin being sent out Wednesday. The 600-dollar payments are meant to help boost the economy amid the downturn caused by the pandemic.
Meantime, the House voted Monday to increase those payments to two-thousand-dollars, but that move faces an uncertain future in the Senate.
President Trump is demanding Republicans increase stimulus checks to two-thousand dollars unless they “have a death wish.”
He tweeted that after the Senate’s GOP leader blocked a vote. At least five Republican senators support boosting the 600-dollar payments.
