A bill introduced to Congress and drafted by Reps. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Tim Ryan (D-OH) would give Americans over the age of 16 coronavirus stimulus payments of up to $2,000 each month for at least six months.
According to Yahoo Finance, the bill, known as the Emergency Money for the People Act, would guarantee qualifying Americans over 16 years old, $2000 a month for at least six months.
The bill would also guarantee another six months of payments if the employment-to-population ratio for people 16 and older stays below the pre-coronavirus level of 60%.
To receive payments under the Emergency Money for the People Act, one would have to be a citizen or resident of the U.S. and at least 16 years old as of Jan. 1, 2020.
The bill still has a long way to go as Republicans have been wary of another coronavirus stimulus payment, instead opting to reopen states and the economy.
