FACT CHECK
Donald Trump oversaw the release of two rounds of stimulus check packages while in office, providing Americans with thousands of dollars in relief during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Americans received $1,200 in March 2020 and $600 in December 2020. The former president urged lawmakers to increase the amount in December 2020 to $2,000 but eventually signed legislation approving the lower figure.
Recently, a group of viral TikToks suggested Trump will bring back the COVID-era policy, promising to send out more checks should he be elected in 2024.
