Is the $2,000 stimulus checks proposed by Trump coming in new year - What Americans need to know

The government plans $2,000 stimulus checks for households earning under $100,000. Funding may come from tariffs and federal revenues. Congress must approve the distribution through new legislation. Tariff revenues are projected at $158.4 billion for 2025, but payouts could cost $280$607 billion. There is no law in place, no payment schedule, and no authorization for the IRS to send money. What exists today is a policy proposal still moving through political and legal uncertainty.
