The second round of stimulus checks from the US government are going out this week. Business Insider reports the checks will pay up to $600 each, or $1,200 per married couple, plus additional funds for children. According to Congress's bill authorizing the payments, most of the direct cash payments will be sent to qualifying Americans by January 15.

The second round of stimulus checks began rolling out through direct deposit this week. The Internal Revenue Service says the Get My Payment tool is for checking the status of your payment. The tool itself should become available “in a few days", according to Gizmodo. The agency said that the $600 stimulus checks are for qualifying U.S. adults. Paper checks would be mailed beginning Wednesday. Adults with an adjusted gross income of up to $75,000 are eligible for individual payments of $600.
On Sunday, Republicans and Democrats in Congress agreed upon a new $900 billion coronavirus relief bill. This includes sending out the second round of stimulus checks for adults. That's half the amount of the first round of stimulus checks in April. According to Insider polling, 62% of respondents believe that the $600 checks are too little. Additionally, 76% of respondents said the payments should be greater than $1,000. 43% said the checks should be $2,000 or more.
