On Saturday morning, the US House of Representatives – more precisely the House Democrats –has exceeded $ 1.9 trillion American rescue plan. (Zero Republicans crossed party lines for the bill; Two Democrats voted against.) The plan, expected to be passed in the U.S. Senate this week, would include a wide range of provisions, including funding the production and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, an expansion of federal unemployment benefits. .. and a third round of stimulus payments for some American households.
If the American rescue plan is passed and legally signed, it will set a maximum of $ 1,400 for individuals and $ 2,800 for couples – plus $ 1,400 for each dependent. Of course, it all depends on yours Adjusted Gross Income (AGI). To receive the full amount, an individual’s AGI cannot be more than $ 75,000 – or $ 150,000 for couples.
But even if they do, that doesn’t mean you’ll go away empty-handed: individuals with an AGI between $ 75,001 and $ 100,000 (and couples with an AGI between $ 150,001 and $ 200,000) will receive stimulus checks based on their income are.

One thing to keep in mind: filing your 2020 taxes will allow you to determine how much you get on your third stimulus check – or if you get one at all – as Lifehacker’s Mike Winter pointed out recently.
