WASHINGTON D.C. - Congressional Democrats are pushing ahead with passing President Biden's nearly $2 trillion coronavirus relief package, paving the way for a third $1,400 stimulus check for millions of Americans — and households could start to receive the money in just a few weeks.Once Congress approves the emergency aid bill, Biden needs to sign the legislation to release the money.
The IRS and Treasury Department would then distribute the cash payments through direct deposit, mailed checks and prepaid debit cards.The federal government took about two weeks to start distributing the first round of $1,200 payments in April, and about one week to send the second round of checks, worth $600, in January.
