As part of the $2.2 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), signed into law this weekend, Congress included the provision that Americans will receive a one-time stimulus check.

Who gets a check and for how much?

Eligible adults earning up to $75,000 will receive a check of $1,200. Couples earning up to $150,000 will receive $2,400.

Eligible families will receive an additional $500 per child – for children under the age of 17 – regardless of income.
