What are the odds that we will get a $2,000 stimulus check?

[left-of-center2012]

Any idea how soon that might happen?

1. Pretty good and probably sometime in the first 100 days . Hopefully

in February.

[Spider Jerusalem]

2. Odds are very good and likely within 2 weeks or so of the new Congress being seated

depends on how high a priority further covid relief etc is but I am sure it'd be one of the very first things on the agenda.

3. already got 600. only 1400 second round probably nt

4. There could be some good news for adults that are carried as dependents by someone else.

I read that if they file a tax return for 2020 and are no longer carried as an eligible dependent for someone else, then they could get the full $2,000 as a credit and possible refund.

No, I don't remember where I read it so please don't ask me for a link.

5. Very good IMO

I think we get Manchin to support it either with sweeteners or phasing it out after $50,000 income instead. If not, some Repukes could cross over.

But PLEASE give people a chance to correct their bank info. I might need to claim the recovery credit for the $600 due to old account info.

6. When the Dems are back where they should be....

legislating, not destroying.

7. Manchin may be the spoiler

8. Manchin will milk his vote for every penny he can get, but I think it will happen.

[wishstar]

9. He said on CNN that he wants infrastructure money to help give people jobs

making it clear he is going to bargain and probably come around on the direct checks because economic situation and job losses have been worsening.

10. There will be enough R votes for the $1400 in additional relief money

to render Manchin’s shenanigans moot.

[mvd]

14. That's what I think

Do you think they will be $2,000, or $1400 to add to the $600?

[stopbush]

15. Some Ds are saying $1400, so I think it will be $1400.

11. I'd rather see it in enhanced UI benefits.

[left-of-center2012]

12. That would leave out a lot of people in food lines

I'd like to see we do both;
'enhance' unemployment insurance
and help those who have nothing.

[roamer65]

13. We should be handing out SNAP cards like candy.

I really want to see an assured basic income system.

A income that when you become unemployed automatically kicks in until u become employed again. One that also kicks in if you have to quit working if you need to do elder care, etc.
