Congressional lawmakers will decide later this month whether the best way to help a stalled US economy is to approve a second stimulus check. If that happens, here's when we think another payment could come. But the question few in Washington are talking about is this: Who exactly would qualify?
There's been talk of making more people eligible for an extra round of stimulus funds, but also discussions that could limit future IRS checks to fewer people total, focusing on those determined to have the greatest need.
In making these decisions, the Senate and If you have any queries with regards to exactly where and how to use a stalled US economy, you can get hold of us at our own page. House will factor in economic data that is at best contradictory.
With many states reopening over the last 30 days, the US economy added 4.8 million jobs in June (PDF), the Labor Department reported on Thursday. However, for the week ending June 27, first-time unemployment insurance claims were 1.42 million (PDF), marking the 15th straight week in which people filed for unemployment benefits for the first time, a sign that the US labor market is still shedding jobs.
And with coronavirus rates now spiking in 45 states, governors are shutting businesses they had allowed to open just weeks before, threatening to set back new job gains.
Here, we'll tell you everything we've heard so far about who may or may not be eligible for an extra economic impact payment. The situation and this story are updated often.
Who isn't eligible for a stimulus check today?
Before looking at who might be eligible for a second stimulus check, let's review who's been excluded in the first round.
A single taxpayer with an adjusted gross income above $99,000A head of a household with an AGI over $136,500A married couple with an AGI over $198,000Children over 16 and college students under age 24A nonresident alien as defined by the US governmentNot everyone will qualify for a payment under the current proposal.

Who gets another stimulus payment? The big picture
We won't know until another rescue bill is made official, but we can put some pieces together to get a sense of the possibilities. For example, the Heroes Act (PDF) passed by the House of Representatives in May proposes broad financial benefits to individuals, families and categories that were skipped by the first stimulus check, including most college students and people who aren't US citizens.
But the Heroes Act has been strenuously opposed by the Senate and President Donald Trump, who called it DOA. On the other end of the spectrum, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said that if his chamber passes another relief bill that includes more stimulus checks, the focus will be narrow.
Some suggest that if there is a second stimulus payment, it should be targeted to people in most urgent need. That would mean far fewer people would receive a check or bank account deposit from the IRS.
There aren't any confirmed details yet. For now, here are some possible scenarios for who may or may not be eligible, drawn from the Heroes Act and comments by White House and Senate leaders. Consider these speculative and not a matter of fact. Here's additional information about the proposals and how much money you might get.
