The impact the coronavirus has had on the U.S. economy has been pronounced. Unemployment is at a historic high, businesses have gone under, and many individuals and families have been left struggling to make ends meet. With that said, President Trump back in March signed a $2 trillion stimulus package designed to inject a bit of life into an economy that slowed down to a crawl. The aforementioned package included $1,200 payouts to eligible Americans, payments that the IRS began making last month.
Given the current state of the economy, there’s a good chance we might see a new stimulus package from Washington at some point in the future. Some folks in the Trump administration, however, are wary about increasing spending and have floated a few ideas to limit the impact on stimulus payouts to Americans. According to The Washington Post, one such idea involves giving Americans the option to receive a $5,000 stimulus check on the condition they delay their Social Security benefits.
