Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., on Monday introduced a bill to send tariff rebate checks to American families, which would be similar to the stimulus checks sent during the Covid-19 pandemic.
If enacted, the American Worker Rebate Act of 2025 would provide “at least” $600 per adult and dependent child, or $2,400 for a family of four, according to a statement from Hawley. The bill allows for a larger rebate if tariff revenue exceeds projections.
Whatever the final amount, the benefit would be reduced by 5% for joint filers with an adjusted gross income above $150,000 or single filers earning more than $75,000.
The Senate bill comes after President Donald Trump on Friday told reporters the administration was “thinking about a little rebate” for Americans from tariff revenue.
