The US House of Representatives is gearing up for a final vote on President Joe Biden s $1.9 trillion COVID relief plan with a third stimulus check in an effort to send it to the White House to be signed into law later this week.
Psaki also said the federal government plans to expand electronic payments, which are substantially faster than checks, adding that physical checks will be signed by a career official at the Bureau of the Fiscal Service. We are doing everything in our power to expedite the payments and not delay them, which is why the President s name will not appear on the memo line of this round of stimulus checks . This is not about him. This is about the American people getting relief, almost 160 million of them, she added.
