Stimulus Check 2025? Tariff Rebate Checks May Be Coming!
Amidst ongoing economic concerns, including inflation and rising costs, the possibility of a new stimulus check is once again making headlines. This time, the discussion centers on a potential tariff rebate check for American taxpayers. President Donald Trump recently hinted at the possibility, and Senator Josh Hawley has introduced legislation to make it a reality.
What's the Buzz About Tariff Rebate Checks?
The idea of a tariff rebate check emerged after President Trump was questioned about the allocation of tariff revenue. He mentioned the possibility of a “little rebate” to the American public, alongside the goal of paying down national debt.
The American Worker Rebate Act of 2025
Following Trump's comments, Missouri Republican Senator Josh Hawley announced his sponsorship of the American Worker Rebate Act of 2025. This bill aims to provide direct financial relief to taxpayers by distributing tariff revenue. The proposed rebate would be similar to the stimulus checks issued during the COVID-19 pandemic.
How Much Could You Get?
The American Worker Rebate Act of 2025 proposes a minimum rebate of $600 per adult and dependent child. This means a family of four could potentially receive a total of $2,400. However, it's important to remember that this is just a proposal. Congress must approve the bill before any funds can be disbursed.
What Trump Said About Rebates
On July 25th, when asked about the possibility of a rebate to the American public from tariff revenue, Trump stated, "We're thinking about that actually...we have so much money coming in, we're thinking about a little rebate. But the big thing we want to do is pay down debt. But we're thinking about a rebate."
While the prospect of a stimulus check or tariff rebate is encouraging for many Americans struggling with economic hardship, it's crucial to stay informed about the progress of the American Worker Rebate Act and any other potential stimulus measures.
