Tariff Rebate Checks: How Much Could Families Receive If the New Stimulus Is Approved?
A new proposal in Washington, the Tariff Rebate Checks plan, is gaining attention as families face higher costs from tariffs and inflation.
Backed by former President Donald Trump and introduced by Senator Josh Hawley, the bill aims to send direct payments to households, similar to pandemic-era stimulus checks.
What Is the American Worker Rebate Act?
The proposal, officially called the American Worker Rebate Act, would use revenue from tariffs to provide cash payments directly to U.S. households.
-
Supporters argue the plan would give families relief from higher prices caused by tariffs.
-
Critics note that tariffs may already cost American households an average of $2,500 per year, offsetting some of the benefits.
Despite the debate, the measure has sparked widespread interest because of its stimulus-style direct payments.
