"We are working with Congress right now We are working on another stimulus package, which I think will be done very soon"

Earlier this week, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he plans to submit his own version of a second stimulus package later this month, adding that the bill will likely include additional payments to individuals [President Trump had previously claimed that the second round of the stimulus would be "very generous," but McConnell suggested earlier this week that the second round of the stimulus could be limited to Americans earning less than $40,000 a year

Under the Heroes Act approved by the House, all recipients of the first round of benefits would also receive the second round of stimulus This includes taxpayers with incomes up to $99,000 (for single taxpayers) and $198,000 (for married taxpayers), with a prorated amount for those earning over $75,000 and $150,000, respectively Relief for dependents over age 16 and individuals with taxpayer identification numbers will also be extended

McConnell's proposal may limit benefits to taxpayers earning less than $40,000 per year, but this has not yet been formalized
