That means a guy filing jointly making $150,000 would get the full $2400, while a single minimum wage guy gets $600. How could anyone think that's fair? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78653051 Luxembourg 03/20/2020 06:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: ‘An utter disgrace’: GOP stimulus plan would cut taxes for corporations while denying benefits to poorest Under the proposal, most taxpayers would receive between $600 and $1,200 ($2,400 for a married couple) based on their 2018 income and taxes. People owing little or no income tax would get the minimum rebate of $600 if they had at least $2,500 in income from earnings, Social Security, or veterans’ benefits in 2018. People with less than $2,500 of qualifying income would get nothing. Payments would rise by $500 for each child and be phased out at higher income levels. Take two families of four, with incomes of $35,000 and $150,000. Both families have two children, who receive $500 each. The adults, however, are treated very differently. Each adult in the higher-income family gets $1,200, for a total of $3400. Each lower-income adult receives just $600 for a total of $2200. This means the less financially vulnerable family gets $1,200 more than the family that has a tougher time making ends meet. (See chart.)
