If you were hoping for another stimulus check from the federal government, you might be in luck.
Republicans have floated a variety of options that include reforming the enhanced benefits or even replacing them with a back-to-work bonus, but are not keen to continue the $600 program.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, who has led coronavirus relief negotiations for the administration on the hill, echoed an openness to reforms and told CNBC that the program will not be done “in the same way.”Dozens of other provisions also could make their way into the stimulus package. Republicans, Democrats and the administration have made differing proposals a priority that could pose additional hurdles as sides work to negotiate.
Both the House and the Senate are on recess this week, but McConnell said he would start discussing the draft with his members and Democrats when they return next week. House Democrats have similarly stressed an urgency to get a bill to the president's desk. Pelosi said on CNN Tuesday that she would delay the House's August recess o ensure enough time to work through negotiations.
