Treasury Says $600 Coronavirus Payments Start Tuesday Night

Summary from the AllSides News Team

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Tuesday that $600 direct payments to Americans will start this week as part of recently approved COVID-19 coronavirus relief legislation. Qualified individuals with direct deposit may receive the payments as soon as Tuesday night, and paper checks will be mailed starting Wednesday. The news comes as legislation to increase the payments to $2,000 has stalled in the Senate, with no vote on the measure currently scheduled. President Donald Trump called for higher payments on Twitter Tuesday, saying Americans "have suffered enough!" The checks have been covered prominently by outlets on all sides of the spectrum. Some left-rated sources focused more on friction between Trump and Republican lawmakers who oppose larger payments.
