A day that's been a long time coming may finally be here.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (pictured) and other congressional leaders have reportedly reached a compromise that clears the way for votes on a new coronavirus rescue package, including a second round of direct aid payments to Americans.
Yes, "stimulus checks."
The U.S. House has scheduled a session for Sunday, with votes expected as early as 1 p.m.
You could get your money within weeks, but you may find the amount disappointing — and will need a plan to find other relief on your own.
According to multiple media reports, the new aid bill includes money for struggling businesses, $300 a week in bonus unemployment benefits, and fresh direct payments to help struggling U.S. households and stimulate the weak economy.
How much will most people get? $600 — half the $1,200 per person the IRS distributed the first time, about eight months ago.
