新一輪紓困補(bǔ)助計(jì)劃給每個(gè)美國人發(fā)放1200美元
上周一,參議院多數(shù)黨領(lǐng)袖米奇·麥康奈爾介紹了共和黨另一項(xiàng)補(bǔ)助計(jì)劃,打算向大部分美國人再發(fā)放1200美元。
盡管1200美元這個(gè)金額很很容易讓人聯(lián)想到上一輪發(fā)補(bǔ)助,但仍有一些重要的調(diào)整,尤其是在親屬補(bǔ)助問題上。
其實(shí)在計(jì)劃中,補(bǔ)助本身是爭(zhēng)議最小的部分。兩黨都支持發(fā)放新一輪紓困補(bǔ)助。爭(zhēng)議的焦點(diǎn)在于延長每周600美元的失業(yè)救濟(jì)金,州政府和地方政府資助方案,以及是否豁免企業(yè)涉及新冠疫情的訴訟。
參議院的共和黨希望未來幾周內(nèi)能完成簽署,并表示最早可能8月正式實(shí)施。
共和黨的提案具體有哪些內(nèi)容?以下是目前已知和未知的部分。
第二輪紓困補(bǔ)助對(duì)收入有沒有限制?
共和黨提出的第二輪紓困補(bǔ)助與第一輪幾乎相同,將為個(gè)人提供最高1200美元的補(bǔ)助資金,已婚夫婦則是2400美元,每個(gè)符合條件的孩子500美元。如果調(diào)整后總收入超過每人7.5萬美元或夫婦超過15萬美元,補(bǔ)助數(shù)額將減少。此外,如果個(gè)人收入超過9.9萬美元,有一個(gè)子女的家庭收入超過14.65萬美元,或無子女家庭收入超過19.8萬美元,則不提供補(bǔ)助。
共和黨的計(jì)劃還明確規(guī)定,監(jiān)獄服刑者不會(huì)獲得紓困補(bǔ)助。
第二輪補(bǔ)助是否涉及親屬?
第一輪紓困補(bǔ)助計(jì)劃中,父母納稅時(shí)申報(bào)照顧的年輕人不會(huì)收到支票。不過,周一麥康奈爾表示,計(jì)劃為成年家屬提供“更多支持”。共和黨提議為每個(gè)撫養(yǎng)親屬提供500美元,不分年齡(第一輪紓困補(bǔ)助時(shí),上限為17歲)。
民主黨也支持為親屬提供補(bǔ)助。如果5月眾議院民主黨通過的《英雄法案》能順利實(shí)施,政府原本打算為親屬提供1200美元補(bǔ)助。
如果與外國公民結(jié)婚,還能獲得紓困補(bǔ)助嗎?
第一輪紓困計(jì)劃中,與非美國公民結(jié)婚且共同納稅的美國人并未考慮在內(nèi)。但兩黨一些議員正努力推動(dòng)改變。
“不應(yīng)該因?yàn)槊绹伺c非美國公民結(jié)婚,就不提供聯(lián)邦紓困補(bǔ)助,”參議員托姆·蒂利斯和馬可·魯比奧在周六一份聲明中寫道。
目前麥康奈爾在相關(guān)問題上的立場(chǎng)尚不清楚。
需要社會(huì)保險(xiǎn)號(hào)碼嗎?
《英雄法案》5月獲眾議院民主黨通過,但在參議院并未通過。根據(jù)該法案,納稅人可使用有效的報(bào)稅號(hào)碼獲得補(bǔ)助,不必提供社保號(hào),因?yàn)樯绫L?hào)碼排除了很多非公民和持永久居留卡的人。共和黨人并未建議改變做法。
何時(shí)能獲得第二輪紓困補(bǔ)助?
美國總統(tǒng)特朗普簽署最終的紓困補(bǔ)助法案后,可能要等幾周。共和黨領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人希望未來幾周能達(dá)成協(xié)議,8月就發(fā)放支票。然而,考慮到共和黨的內(nèi)訌以及參眾兩院之間的爭(zhēng)端,這么想可能過于樂觀。
如果2019年尚未報(bào)稅呢?
發(fā)放第一輪補(bǔ)助時(shí),如果有美國人2019年沒報(bào)稅,美國國稅局就參考2018年納稅申報(bào)表??紤]到許多納稅人選擇10月延期報(bào)稅,本輪可能還會(huì)參考往年納稅記錄。
非納稅人和退休人員會(huì)不會(huì)再次延遲領(lǐng)取補(bǔ)助?
針對(duì)無需提交納稅申報(bào)表的美國人,包括眾多靠社保生活的退休人員,第一輪補(bǔ)助發(fā)放時(shí)均有延遲。國稅局主要為了核實(shí)相關(guān)人員是否有符合申領(lǐng)補(bǔ)助條件的子女,因此推遲了發(fā)放支票。
由于上一輪補(bǔ)助發(fā)放期間相關(guān)信息已獲確認(rèn),本輪可能不會(huì)延遲。不過,還是要等法案通過,指導(dǎo)意見發(fā)布后方能確定。(財(cái)富中文網(wǎng))

On Monday Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell outlined Republicans plans for another stimulus bill, which would send most Americans another $1,200 stimulus check.
Though that $1,200 number may ring a bell from the last time around, there are some important tweaks, including when it comes to dependents.
The stimulus checks themselves are actually one of the least controversial parts of an overall package. Both parties support another round of stimulus checks. The more contentious issues include extending the $600 unemployment checks, state and local government funding, and providing immunity to businesses from COVID-19 related lawsuits.
Senate Republicans hope to get the bill signed in the coming weeks, and have said the stimulus checks could come as early as August.
What's in the Republicans proposal? Here's what we do and don't know so far.
Will there be an income limit for the second stimulus check?
The Republicans proposal for second stimulus check is nearly identical to the first stimulus. It would send a stimulus check worth as much as $1,200 for individuals or $2,400 for married couples, plus $500 for each qualifying child. That amount would decrease for adjusted gross income above $75,000 per individual or $150,000 per qualified couple. And the checks phase out for individuals earning above $99,000, head of household filers with one child above $146,500, and joint filers with no children at $198,000.
The GOP plan also explicitly bars any individual in prison from receiving a stimulus check.
Will dependents get a second stimulus check?
Young adults who are claimed as dependents on their parents taxes did not receive a stimulus check the first time around. However, McConnell said Monday his plan would provide "more support" for adult dependents. His party is proposing to provide $500 per dependent regardless of age (it was capped age 17 in the first round of stimulus checks).
Democrats also support sending stimulus money for dependents. The HEROES Act passed in May by House Democrats would have provided $1,200 stimulus checks for dependents.
Will you get a stimulus check if you're married to a foreign national?
The first stimulus check didn't go to Americans who file taxes jointly and are married to a foreign national who isn't a citizen. But some representatives in both parties are pushing to change that.
"No American should be denied a federal stimulus check because they are married to a foreign national who is not a U.S. citizen,” wrote Senators Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) in a statement Saturday.
It's unclear where McConnell stands on the issue.
Do you need a Social Security number (SSN)?
The HEROES Act passed in May by House Democrats, which died in the Senate, would've sent payments to tax filers with a valid tax ID number, instead of based on Social Security number—seeing as the latter excludes many noncitizens and people in the country on Permanent Resident Cards. This is not something Republicans are proposing to change.
When would I get my second stimulus check?
It will likely take a few weeks after President Donald Trump' signs the final bill for the checks to go out. Republican leaders hope to reach a deal in the coming weeks, and get checks out in August. However, given the Republican infighting and disputes between the House and Senate, that may be overly optimistic.
What if you still haven't filed taxes for 2019?
For the first round of checks the IRS used 2018 tax returns for Americans who hadn't filed their 2019. It's likely this will still be the case, given that many taxpayers have opted for October extensions.
Will non taxpayers and retirees get their checks late again?
Americans who are not required to file a tax return, including many retirees living on Social Security Income, received their payments later during the first round of stimulus payments. The IRS delayed their checks as it waited for them to verify if they had any qualifying children.
Given that information was already confirmed in the last round, it is possible that delay wouldn't occur again. However, such guidance will not be released until—or unless—a bill passes.
