Emergency Direct Payments Act

Summary

Emergency Direct Payments Act This bill provides an additional recovery rebate (i.e., refundable tax credits) beginning in 2020 to individual taxpayers whose adjusted gross income does not exceed $75,000 ($150,000 for joint return filers). The increased amount is $1,200 per taxpayer ($2,400 for joint return filers) and $500 for each dependent of the taxpayer. To be eligible for the increased rebate amount, a taxpayer must provide a valid identification number (i.e., Social Security account number). The bill allows an exemption from the identification requirement for members of the Armed Forces if at least one military spouse provides a valid identification number. It also provides for a qualified exemption for the recovery rebate from garnishments and other offsets. The Department of the Treasury must conduct a public awareness campaign regarding the availability of the recovery rebate.
