DETROIT – A second, smaller round of stimulus checks are due to most Americans after President Trump signed off on a $900 billion coronavirus relief bill last weekend.
This round will be $600 compared to $1,200 earlier this year. A bill passed by the House on Monday could increase the payments to $2,000, but it faces an uphill battle in the Senate. If it were to pass, it would be added on top of the $600 payment, as a separate payment. (You’d get another payment of $1,400).

Michigan fines 5 more businesses for COVID-19 violations
The state continued to take legal action against COVID-19 scofflaws on Tuesday, with the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration fining five businesses for what it said were failures to protect workers from contracting the virus.
The businesses were issued general duty citations under a Michigan law that requires employers to provide a workplace that is free from recognized hazards that could cause death or serious physical harm. General duty violations can be punished with fines up to $7,000.
MIOSHA’s general industry and construction industry enforcement divisions conducted inspections and found that the companies allegedly failed to implement health screenings, face mask requirements, employee training, cleaning protocols or other measures needed to keep employees safe, according to a press release the agency issued Tuesday.
