Mnuchin Announces When Americans Will Get Second Stimulus Payment
Stimulus Checks: Mnuchin Announces When Americans Will Get Second Payment
Alex Woodward Mon, December 21, 2020
Millions of Americans could receive $600 in direct payments before the end of 2020 following the passage of a $900bn relief package eight months into the coronavirus crisis and its economic fallout.
Hours before a midnight deadline averting a government shutdown, after several frustrating weeks of debate, leaders in Congress agreed to legislation that includes $600 in direct payments for most Americans, along with $300 in weekly federal unemployment aid, an extension of a moratorium on evictions and $25bn in rental assistance, $284bn for businesses, and $20bn for local Covid-19 vaccine distribution, among other provisions.
Members of Congress had agreed to some form of direct payments to Americans following one-time payment from April that put $1,200 into millions of Americans’ bank accounts. But Republicans rejected efforts to do the same, eight months later, despite a worsening pandemic and more than 20 million people out of work.
Following an 11th-hour agreement on the scope of the relief package on Sunday night ahead of a potential government shutdown, the text of the legislation has not been released.
Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin told CNBC on Monday that Americans could expect to begin receiving payments before the start of 2021.
He said payments could be sent out as early as next week.
Individuals, including children, will receive $600 in the form of a direct payment from the US government into bank accounts. A family of four could receive $2,400 total.
Those payments would apply only to people who earned $75,000 or less based on earnings from the 2019 tax year, not in 2020. People who earned $99,000 or more that year would not be eligible for payments.
Unemployment insurance payments will extend up to 11 weeks of “enhanced” federal relief, beginning as soon as 27 December, according to lawmakers.

This Week Could Be HUGE For Dinar & Crypto
The Dinar Den: 9-14-2026
We are currently witnessing an extraordinary alignment of economic milestones, particularly within a pivotal forty-eight-hour window.
This crucial period brings together the upcoming vote on the Clarity Act in the United States Senate, the drafting of Iraq’s 2027 federal budget, and the Federal Reserve’s highly anticipated decisions regarding interest rates.
These events are not happening in isolation; rather, they represent a convergence of domestic policy, international legislative updates, and global monetary strategy that could collectively influence the future value and utility of the dinar.

"Grow Our Way Out of Debt” Is Code for Inflation
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black / Sovereign Man) September 14, 2026
Last week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent sat down for a fireside chat at Southern Methodist University in Dallas and told the room what the plan is for the national debt.
"We don't have a revenue problem," he said. "We have a spending problem." Contain the spending, add 3% growth, and America can "grow our way out of this."

25 Years Later— A Reminder That The World Can Change In An Instant

At a time in my life which now seems centuries ago, I was once a young lieutenant, barely a year out of West Point, and I had recently been assigned to lead an electronic warfare platoon.
Whenever my unit wasn't deployed or in the field, most of my duty days were spent in a top-secret facility called a SCIF— the kind of place that was guarded by military police and didn't have any windows.
