Sorry, Americans — There’s No $2,000 Stimulus Check Coming

Last week, we pointed to efforts by members of Congress to include multiple $2,000 stimulus checks to Americans — including musicians and laid-off industry workers — to make ends meet.  Unfortunately, those efforts have been dashed.

Instead, Americans will have to make do with a single $1,200 stimulus check, which most view as inadequate to pay bills for more than a few weeks (at most).  According to details emerging this week, members of the U.S. Senate have decided against additional individual stimulus checks, despite forwarding a near-$500 billion stimulus supplement for approval to the House of Representatives.

Just yesterday, the Senate approved a $484 billion supplement to its earlier, $2 trillion-plus Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. But that supplement is mostly focused on replenishing the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), while a portion is allocated for hospitals and the purchase of coronavirus testing kits.

Initially, the $2,000 booster check was proposed by Democratic Representative Tim Ryan of Ohio, alongside California Representative Ro Khanna, also a Democrat.

“A one-time, $1,200 dollar check isn’t going to cut it,” Khanna stated last week. “Americans need sustained cash infusions for the duration of this crisis in order to come out on the other side alive, healthy, and ready to get back to work.”

As part of their ‘Emergency Money for the People Act,’ both Khanna and Ryan favored more than just a single, $2,000 stimulus check payment.  Instead, they proposed a monthly payout of that amount, until the economy could regain its footing.  The stimulus check payouts would be guaranteed for 6 months, which would hopefully offer enough time for people to get back on their feet while still paying rent, bills, and buying necessities like groceries.

Other legislators also called for additional payments to individual Americans, without success.

Of the $484 billion, $320 billion has been earmarked for the PPP, with another $60 billion for Small Business Association (SBA) emergency loans.

The Paycheck Protection Program aims to help businesses struggle through the next few months by issuing forgivable loans equal to 2.5 times the average monthly payroll costs. That sounded good in principle, though the program was quickly depleted as businesses rushed to claim the initial $349 billion funding tranche.

Most were left hanging by mega-banks like Bank of America and Wells Fargo, who reluctantly started processing loans on behalf of the U.S. Government but only sporadically alerted clients of their loan statuses. Even worse, data now shows that roughly 70% of the loan disbursements went to large, publicly-traded corporations like Shake Shack (NYSE: SHAK), with larger banks favoring the bigger loans to ramp up processing fees.

Initially, the PPP was earmarked for businesses with under 500 employees as well as independent contractors and sole proprietorships. Both the spirit and intent of the bill were seemingly clear. But thanks to a loophole inserted by larger restaurant chains and allowed by Congress, individual franchisees were allowed to apply independently, a structure that quickly soaked up available funds and left smaller businesses and single-person entities high-and-dry.

That undoubtedly locked out a lot of smaller music companies, including publishing houses, touring companies, festivals, and touring outfits built around successful live acts.

The latter includes Zac Brown, who was forced to lay off nearly all of this touring staff because of grounded shows and scant government assistance.

“I’m pretty ashamed of how our leadership has handled all of this, I’m pretty ashamed of a lot of things,” Brown stated after announcing the mass-layoffs. “We can’t rely on our government to tell our people what they need to do. You can read between the lines, you can read all the articles of this happening from all around the world, and we’re less protected than a lot of those countries. Because no one can tell us what to do.”

Initial failures aside, there’s still some hope left for smaller companies, touring musicians, and independent contractors.

Already, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Chase, and others are facing aggressive lawsuits for unfairly prioritizing mega-clients. Their behavior might not be illegal, though ethically, the situation could bode poorly for the larger banks. Part of the reason is that smaller banks managed to secure PPP loans for many of their clients, thanks to a greater commitment to smaller businesses and deeper experience working with the Small Business Association (SBA).

In the interim, larger banks could use the second tranche to clean up their acts.  That could cool the legal threats, while also staving a near-certain exodus of customers once the PPP mess cools down.

That would theoretically benefit independent contractors, LLCs, and even outfits like the Zac Brown Band.  Though at this stage, expectations are understandably low.

    $2,000? Heck, I and everyone I know is still waiting on the $1,200.

    • Avanelle Rose

      Yes social security people being the last ones to supposly getting the stimules checks . But in the begining they said low income would get stimules checks. That was a lie we are the last to get them. Most of social security people dont make over 20 -30 thousand dollars a year . We are still waiting on our $1200.00 stimules checks . Where is our money? I bet they will say we arent getting a stimules check cause there isnt any more money to give. If that being said than , arent we american people like everyone else if they say that then why should we have to have drivers lienecse, car insurance, etc . We need our stimlues check just like everyone elseneeded it. Workers at least got tax money back some got as much as 5000.00 to 10,000.00 back so why did they get paid stimules money first. I would like for these questions answered by someone that know the truth.

      • Denise

        I agree 100% the irs screwed up my taxes by some how removing information from my taxpayers acct. and no one had answers. Meanwhile I had to file a paper return that I have yet to hear back from and no stimulus, It’s been reported the IRS isn’t even processing paper returns and will continue to do so when their offices reopens, I think this is just ridiculous. Why was they so aggressive with us reporting to the sensors when they never used it as an accountability measure? Just bad decisions making if you ask me!

      • Lisa

        I can’t even get pass the first page on get my payment set up by the government every time I put my information in it kicks me out and then I have to wait 24hrs to get back in !!! I want to know where’s my money !!!!!!!!!!

        • Benjamin

          Hello… I got my check last week… But I also went into IRS website and filed a simple tax return… Even though I have had no taxable income for the last 5 years because I’m disabled! This is what you should do!! What I did… do a Google search for… How to file a a Corona virus simple tax return!! It should come up with a link to the IRS Corona virus simple tax filing… or something like that!! Then setup a profile/account it should only take maybe 10 minutes!! You can also give your current direct deposit info… it doesn’t matter if you didn’t have any taxable income!! Then 3-4 days later using the same email address & password… You should be able to go on where’s my stimulus check website!! That’s exactly what I did and it worked for me!!

      • Frannie

And they wonder why so many bad things happening to this country do right and good will come to you be fair to children with disabilities they are innocent stop enabling the drug addicts and alcoholics they don’t deserve a check . Now no one is there to answer the phones so a person can get help. So what the poor supposed to do?? Tell me someone.

        I’m on social Security and yes my husband is too and we did receive the money it depends on when you get your regular check as to when yours is deposited into your account if you get yours on the 1st then that’s when your check will be there I get mine on the 3rd Wednesday of the month and that’s when I got mine and my neighbor gets hers on the 4th Wednesday and that’s when she got hers so hang in there you are going to get it!!

        • Annoying

          Ppl like me live on this set income and dont make alot ppl who make alot more all ready got their payments so how can they do this

        • VaLori Totten

          So my daughter claimed me on her taxes now I don’t get a stimulus check even though I get a SSDI check!!! Not fair!!!!!

          • San

            Your daughter took you as a dependent thus reducing amount she owes on taxes. If you are really her dependent then she is the one taking care of you financially.

          • Jason

            Why did your daughter claim you ? You should have gotten the 1200 a few weeks later In the month you have til May 5th to submit payment information on the covid payment portal through the irs or you have to wait til next year. But that was supposed to only be the 500$ check for dependents.

        • Anonymous

          I have also been on disability and then social security for many years with direct deposit the whole time. My date to have it deposited every month is the 3rd but yet I didn’t receive my stimulus check until the 8th and it was a paper check in the mail even though they have had my direct deposit info all these years! I only make $1500.00 a month so I think I also qualify for low income but I’m one of the last to receive the check so there’s no rhyme or reason!!

          • angelina cariaga

            Paper checks are due months after the first stimulus. Also writer is not low income. He is retired from work and receiving money not
            income but benefit,

      • BB

        We got ours in the mail on the 23rd. Just letting you know it’s coming. We don’t get a refund since we’re on Social Security so we had to wait for it to be mailed.

      • Darrell Swander

        Give all that money to other countries and don’t give it to the people that needs it. Way to go congress don’t help the American People just make sure you all get paid. What is a wrong with this system it’s bad. Then Congress wonders why the American people don’t trust them. How shameful.

          • Shari Weston

            What you need to do is what my husband did. He called the unemployment phone number, put it on speaker phone for 2 hours and finally got a live person. She helped him with his paper work already on file and he got his card in 7 days with all his money going back to when he filed. 2 hours is a long time but it paid off!

    • Anonymous

      Same here. And and now they dont have enough money to give to $2000 to the people who need it. As they gave it to all the big co.panys. Let the middle class and lower class people dig our ways out of the poop hole the government put us in. Now we are paying even more just to get out of debt. Thanks a lot.

        The bill actually is still being revised by the House. This bill was never meant to include additional stimulus checks. If you look on the congressional website this bill was given to the House on 4/21 and is a separate bill entirely that’s being proposed.

      I know I can’t even get my taxes back they say I have to identify myself but there closed. I bet if I owed taxes they wouldn’t need me to identify myself. How missed up the system is.

Hopefully it did for me anyways

    • Carlos Cesena

      A couple of weeks ago, I got the direct deposit of $1,200.00 from the Federal Treasury. I’ve been off for 6 weeks, now. I just got my California unemployment insurance (UI) statement, having yet to get a dime of my unemployment insurance, though requalifying every 2 weeks. So,I will not get the meager $450.00 per week unemployment insurance payments that I pay into.

      I haven’t used UI for more than a decade and a half. I got the $1,200.00 from the Federal Government, so they’ve usurped my unemployment insurance checks So, it didn’t go to me; it went to the state.

      The state also violated their own regulations. If one works or has income during a claim week, that income is counted against that week’s insurance check, not every week until it matches. Their statement says, basically, “you’ve been paid for those 6 weeks; you’re welcome.”

      I agree I know people still waiting for some ridiculous reason like can verify your identity but send it to people who rip!!!! In spite of fact taxes filed in 201o and birth certificate on file / why is this to control your life ? I agree another stimulus should be given but 2000 might not need to be as high but another stimulus for 16 and above should be given we don’t hesitate to give to other countries so how about helping our own country . People are hurting look at food lines 1000 cars or more of people trying to get box food and it runs out hour after starting ! People can’t feed their families or pay rent etc so yes to helping Citizens of USA ! 16 years old work during summer and pay taxes they too should get stimulus so don’t do tax cuts that take away from ss . Govt has stolen enough from this plan

  2. Ashley

    That is so wrong because people really need that money but that how the government is. That stimulus checks was not anything because bill are behind and that’s were the stimulus when to. Let it be the government family and I bet everything get did but they don’t care because African Americans is the main ones who have it and they don’t care about us

      They’re white broke bitches too
      I can’t stand that poor me I’m black shit. I came from a hard-working poor family also. Didn’t have anything handed to me because I’m “white”. There sure as hell isn’t a poor white girl college fund. My dad walked out on us summer before my senior year. I was above average grades, but guess who had to drop out and support a mother having a breakdown and a little brother? Anyone can have a tuff life , regardless of their skin color. Stop thinking you owed something because of yours. Every woman determined to forge ahead using strength and brain instead of on her back or knees is going to have an uphill battle. I assure you, skin color isn’t the reason.

    My Dad always advised me to keep about $60,000 in cash available for hard times and difficult periods which was the best advice I ever received. Then when bad stuff happens you can sleep well at night not worrying how you are going to pay your bills. Save save save, not spend spend spend is what I now tell my son

    • Jayke

      That’s because you’re one of the few lucky ones that can save $60,000. Most people cant save $600 let alone $60,000. We dont choose where we are born or who we are born to. Take that shit into consideration next time you want to go brag.

        If you work, you are not poor? Tell that to people holding down 3 part time jobs and struggle to make ends meet. This isn’t about liberal or conservative. It’s about Americans surviving during a crisis. What an ignorant, pointless comment you have made.

    • Anonymous

      No need to post this, that was gonna be my reply. “The rich get richer, as far as the poorer gets poorer, is a current true statement. Living check to check is beyond difficult, do not wanna offend no one. I lived like this once. And for now basically history repeating itself, (Pocket-wise), folks not all are fortunate. Thou, I respected one of the aboves comment “we weren’t asked who or to where to be born to or in”. Whats imperative is making-it, once we’re, old enough. However, how can the people all (congress, fortunate ones, richer ones, comfortable ones) not be or voice on/for those favor of needing some assistance, today. When this monster (virus) chooses one to infect, it doesn’t look nor knows and doesn’t give a fuck, what u have. So can we all be considerate, and can such a huge protest begin, in general/together as far as getting the stimulus moneys. I mean aren’t we all suppose to be together on fighting this monster (virus). So sad, so heart broken, how people just go fucking nuts when it comes to giving/helping/assisting/providing/dealing with MONEYS.
      Some not eligible for it, thou they do not want those that are get it. Sad disgusting humans!!!!

    U.S. Government fucked us all.

    They knew about this shit in December 2019. Members of Congress were dumping stock based on intelligence briefings. They could have rolled out testing, put at-risk people in quarantine, and let the economy keep running. Instead they forced every business to close. Really easy for a politician to do when it’s not your mortgage payment and livelihood on the line.

    Some of these elected officials might want to watch their backs.

  9. Anonymous

    If Corona dont kill us the Government will. Sure thing now we are so far in the hole we will never crawl out of it. Government keeps the big bucks for the rich people and share it with businesses banks. They are not helping the people. Saying they are by giving $1,200 to every American. Look what they are giving to big corporations. This is not for us people. All for them. I work 12 hours a night 6 nights a week. Still not getting by. At least I’m one of the people who still have a job. At least I’m back to work most others are not. That $2,000 realy would of been a big help for me and many many others just to get back on our feet. Greedy government

    I would love to get that $2000.00 Stimulus check that $1.200 check is gone already paying my Bill’s and food . I’m on SSDI and only get $1223.00 a month and I only have 200 of that for feeding myself it’s not enough I really need that $2000 Stimulus check so I can get on my feet and stay their. Come on we all need this Stimulus money to live . The Senate needs to vote and to approve another round of checks to keep the American people going

    • DAC and scared cause I can't afford to live

      I make $1100 on ssdi and rent is $1054… I get $22 in food stamps and just found out I lost my medicaid. On top of that, I didn’t even qualify for the stimulus because my boyfriend claimed me on his taxes so we wouldn’t have to pay taxes this year… His $1200 check didn’t even cover all the bills and car repairs.

      • J. Montoya

        I dont understand how you made it before with just your ssdi check? If you have been making it up til then, what is the problem. Too many people live up and above their means. I choose to live without an air conditioner, without central heating, without cable, without internet ( just got internet this month thanks to 9.95 comcast essentials) even without running water when necessary. I dont run my electric bill up or spend hundreds of dollars on exspensive food. I dont get an ss check or ssdi or anything. I dont have a new car or the latest phone. Stop living beyond your means. When my stimulus check came on april 14th, i was thrilled. 1200 dollars means i can live with water, electric, internet, and food for 6 months easy, cause i dont try to live like im rich, and dont have steak for dinner each nigh. I have a wood burning stove in the winter and an oscillating fan in the summer. It can be done, and im disabled but turned down by ss. Quit bitching and shut off the cable and bullshit you dont need.

        • Melissa

          I was just going to ask the same thing! I personally am grateful for what they have given me up to this point and if I get more great and if I don’t great. I will do as I always have. Work to make an honest living and live within my means. Before the virus what DID some of you do before it came along? It’s comments like that one that really make me mad. Maybe it is the governments “duty” to help during a pandemic but it is not their “duty” to just get you thru life.

    • TANNER

      I am in same situation , However My 1,200.00 was in my Account on the 13th of April it is gone on bills .
      I had to take a Disability Retierment at 59.5 yrs. So the system does work for 63yrs old on SSDI. My taxes for what I had to do in Feb.

    • Think !!

      You’re on SSDI, the pandemic didn’t lessen your benefits, what changed for you as an individual. These stimulus payments should go to household that have suffered loss of support. That’s keeping it real, not everyone should jump on the band wagon just because. Sure an infusion of cash is great, however that single parent that lost their job that has 3 kids to support, pretty sure needs a stimulus payment more than some one who has not suffered a loss of support at all. We break the back of the economy being greedy and all other assistance programs will suffer, medical housing, child care. Society as a whole will suffer in the end, nothing in life is free.

    Protest at your state capitol to stop this scamdemic . It was base on fraudulent models from Bill Gates, and the fear porn was nonstop from liberal politicians and the lamestream media.

    Here you are complaining about a stimulus check, yet your monthly income hasn’t changed. Wtf? Stop whining. I

    • FEMALE ARMY MP

      When people who just so happen to receive a monthly benefit; be it SS, SSI, SSDI, or Veterans Disability Benefits (I fall under the Veterans Disability Benefits, I’m 100% disabled due to Combat.) That 1 check they receive at the beginning of the month has to last the ENTIRE month. Some individuals get more, some get waaay less. Not to mention, due to price gouging that has happened all over the Country; you add that to your monthly ESSENTIALS, chances are, you in the negative 2 weeks into that month. Those who receive Benefits have paid into taxes and still do when they purchase anything from any damn store. They are just as entitled to the stimulus package as anyone else. People are so damn quick to Judge another individuals monetary situation and to say they should STFU, or they should have saved $60,000 dollars… I’d like to see those individuals get by on the same income as Benefit recipients for, eh, let’s say 3 months without having to worry about which bill needs to be paid for moreso over the others, making sure they have enough food to get by, clean clothes to wear, a bed to sleep in, a warm shower/bath daily, with a roof still dangling above their head. I want to see that happen and then say life is GREAT for us because we get a check every month… Easier to judge anothers situation then it is to actually LIVE through/with it. So tired of everyone thinking that they are above everyone and everything in this world. Wake up calls suck, that’s for damn certain.

    Other countries are able to give their people money each month to live on during this time. But our government is just to greedy to give our low income people enough to live on till this is over. My heart goes out to the families that lossed their jobs and have children to take care of. 1200 hundred dollars wont last them till this is over.Another group of people i feel bad for are the elderly people who live on less then 1000 dollares per month to pay rent and their bills with no money left to get their meds or food. Our great goverment can only think of big business and themselves at times like this. I am sure the our President and the senate are living high off the hog while we the American people are in a hole we will never get out of. We still have to pay rent or mortage while third world countries are helping their people by giving them money every month and suspended their rent and mortage throughout this crisis.

        clean out your dirty tuna cunt-hole “trish”

  22. Angelito

    Accurate data shows the CV scamdemic was widely overblown based on models from “experts” with political agendas. And, politicians orgasm with power—just look at the Michigan governor.

      • french horns are for faggots

        you are a twat. go back to the russian federation “yuri”

        • Yuri

          That’s your reply? Nothing of substance. You must be Angelito posting under a different name to support your own statements because nobody else will. Great strategy from an attention-starved idiot.

          • french horns are for faggots

            you’re wrong but go ahead and suck some putin cock.

      • Angelito

        Accurate data don’t lie, bubba. If you want to panic and jump off a cliff because the wind is blowing, go right ahead. I am not following you, though.

        Get back to work.

          • french horns are for faggots

            yuri, does your lover smear caviar on your asshole before he smashes it?

        • Patty B-A

          You know what? Take that French horn and shove it where the sun don’t shine I’m sure you will enjoy that thoroughly. You shouldn’t even be allowed to post your such an ingrate

          • french horns are for faggots

            ah patty, so you don’t like the first amendment…should you join ‘yuri’ in fuck-me-up-the-ass-stalingrad? typical liberal cunt rag.

  23. french horns are for faggots

    • french horns are for faggots

      yeah, then stick it up mine.

  24. A DISAPPOINTED UNITED STATES CITIZEN BORNAND RAISED

    With all this going on after 21 years on social security disability they decided to stop my checks the begging of April when they sent me to the doctor I was in his office all but two minutes and some guy in Austin that has no medical degree and sits behind a desk made the decision that I’m not disabled any longer go figure it took seven yrs. to get disability when a judge granted it and they take it away just when even if I could work you can’t find a job now especially at my age I’m 55 yrs old with C.O.P.D ,Degenerative disc. And a list to go on I believe trump is trying his best but the Democrats won’t let him do what needs to be done I really believe come voting time we really need to take areal good looks how our government is being run and make some dramatic changes it’s time to clean house

    • Angelito

      Maybe it is time to call it a day and stop being a burden on the pack.

      • Sam

        Yes, you should do that. Your comments are consistently ignorant and inaccurate. Your use of what you seem to think are witty cutdowns (sheeple, etc.) show your lack of facts for discussion. It is people like you who cause the hysteria and try to divert from real conversations. Everyone can see this, but you don’t care as you keep posting the same worthless junk. I don’t know you, how you were raised or what drives/influences you, but the results have shown, by your words, to be poor at best.

        • french horns are for faggots

          i for one agree with angelito. what big stick swinging facts are you bringing to the table “sam?” and as for the fuckhead leech who claims disability, the cunt can certainty use a keyboard but can’t find a way to earn an income which doesn’t come from the backs of taxpayers? pathetic. dickhead should return the 21 years of funds.

          • Sam

            Your language and attitude are abominable. Do your own research. It’s out there.

          • french horns are for faggots

            Yeah, even Trump can figure out how to swindle taxpayers out of money and fund his private companies. He just travels around to host rallies and forces secret service to stay at his properties, charging higher rates to American citizens. Nothing wrong with that.

        • french horns are for faggots

          thank you sam, honed appropriate language for garbage recipient. furthermore, proving your own usefulness with zero facts and telling your aggressor ‘to do their own research.’ suck a fat dick sam and join the hack author.

        • Angelito

          Point to any inaccuracies. When you cannot, call me homophobic, xenophobic, racist, and deplorable. Then, your day’s work is done.

          • Beth

            You’re just a loser attention seeker who has zero real opinion or interest in anything except causing problems. You’ll get yours. It all comes back around, and when it does, I hope you remember what a complete idiot and jerk you’ve been. No more replies for you. Sit and stew alone.

          • french horns are for faggots

            Well, you really are all those things. That’s why you’re so cute. Come here and give me a hug, sugar cheeks!

          • french horns are for faggots

            I know this because she’s my mom.

  25. Be wise

    What I’m seeing here, is many hating on each others… why? doesn’t sovle the issue.
    keep your angryness and hate..use it toward people ine charge… you know who I mean… because meanwhile, banksters got their piece of the cake, banksters YOU saved with YOUR money and taxes, after the 2008 crisis THEY are responsible for…. It It is time for these banksters to send this money where it is due..

    yeah..kepp your angryness for them.. don’t throw the stone to each others..

    • french horns are for faggots

      i am a ‘bankster,’ thank you

        • french horns are for faggots

          thats why i thank you for the cake

          • Be wise

            I have nothing against you personaly actually, as I don’t know who you are, maybe and if you are a honnest bank worker, this isn’t for you,
            I assume you’ve got it. My comment is clearly toward the “heads of..” the ones whom always get away with it.. 😉

            btw..: no, French horns ain’t for faggots.. what this does even means btw ?? okay.. we’re digressing 😉
