As of right now, it is unknown if Donald Trump approved the second stimulus check. The first stimulus check was approved by him back in March, but there has been no word since then on whether or not he is onboard with the second one. The second stimulus check is set to be much larger than the first, so it is possible that Trump is holding out for a bigger payout for himself and his family.
Donald Trump did not approve the second stimulus check.
Who was the second stimulus check approved?
The second stimulus check is for $600 and is available to individuals with an AGI of $75,000 or less. Those making more than $75,000 and up to $87,000 will receive a reduced amount.
The second round of direct payments will be sent out in December 2020-January 2021. This $900 billion package will help to ease the financial burden that many Americans are facing due to the pandemic.
How much was the 1st and 2nd stimulus
The first Economic Impact Payment was $1,200 ($2,400 if married filing jointly) plus $500 for each qualifying child you had in 2020; and the second Economic Impact Payment was $600 ($1,200 if married filing jointly) plus $600 for each qualifying child you had in 2020.
The very first stimulus checks were paid into people’s bank accounts over the weekend of the 11 and 12 of April, either via direct deposit into individuals’ bank accounts, paper checks sent through the post or in some cases, through a prepaid debit card, the Economic Impact Payment (EIP) Card which were sent out in May.
The stimulus checks are part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which was passed by Congress in March in an effort to provide economic relief to Americans during the coronavirus pandemic.
The stimulus checks are worth up to $1,200 for individual taxpayers, $2,400 for married couples filing jointly, and $500 for each qualifying child.
Who was eligible for the first and second stimulus check?
The IRS will begin issuing automatic payments in early April for those who filed a 2019 tax return, those who receive Social Security retirement, survivor or disability benefits (SSDI), Railroad Retirement benefits as well as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Veterans Affairs beneficiaries who didn’t file a tax return. These payments will be deposited directly into the same financial institution account that was used on the most recent tax return filed.
The IRS has issued three economic stimulus payments to eligible individuals during the coronavirus pandemic: $1,200 in April 2020, $600 in December 2020/January 2021, and $1,400 in March 2021.
How much was the 2nd stimulus payment?
The first stimulus payment was $1,200 per adult and $500 per dependent child under 17. The second stimulus payment was $600 per adult and $600 per dependent child under 17. Unfortunately, dependents 17 or older are out of luck.
The first $1,200 check is for those who are considered “dependents” as defined by the stimulus bill. The second $600 check is for those who are not considered “dependents” as defined by the stimulus bill. The third check of $1,400 is for those who are considered “dependents” as redefined by the stimulus bill.
How much was the 3rd stimulus
The payment is worth up to $1,400 for each eligible adult and each qualifying dependent in a household. For example, a family of four would receive up to $5,600. Click on any of the following links to jump to a section: Eligibility.

When was the 3rd stimulus check sent out?
The last timestamp on this story is from March 2021, so it is safe to assume that the third stimulus check was sent out to eligible American families starting back in March 2021.
If you are an eligible taxpayer, you will receive an economic impact payment of up to $1,200 for individuals or $2,400 for married couples. Up to $500 is provided for each qualifying child who is a dependent under 17.
When was the second and third stimulus sent out
The third stimulus check will be sent out to Americans who qualify beginning March 13. This is according to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The second stimulus check, which was approved on December 27, 2020, began being sent out on December 29, 2020. The final payments for the second stimulus check were issued on February 16, 2021. The third stimulus check will be for the same amount as the second stimulus check, $600 for each qualifying adult and $600 for each qualifying child. The number of payments that will be made is not yet known, but the IRS says that it will be determined based on the number of eligible people.
If you filed your taxes in 2020 and had a Social Security number, the IRS will use that to determine if you are eligible for the second stimulus. If you have children under the age of 17, they may also qualify.
Why did I not get a second stimulus check?
If you have already checked the status of your stimulus check with the IRS Get My Payment tool and received the “Payment Status #2 – Not Available” message, you will not automatically receive a second check. Instead, you must wait until you file your 2020 tax return to get the payment.
The first and second stimulus checks are available to those who missed the October 2021 filing deadline. There is no penalty for filing late if you don’t owe taxes. To get your stimulus checks, simply file your tax return as soon as possible.
Final Words
No, Donald Trump did not approve the second stimulus check.
There is no clear answer to whether or not Donald Trump approved the second stimulus check. However, given his previous comments on stimulus checks, it is likely that he did approve it. This is good news for those who are struggling financially due to the pandemic.
