House Democrats are plowing ahead with a CCP virus stimulus package that would keep the existing income limits for the proposed $1,400 stimulus checks and payments, while reducing eligibility for higher-income individuals and couples.

According to draft legislation (pdf) from House Democrats proposed on Monday, people earning $75,000 or less would receive the $1,400 payment. A bipartisan group of lawmakers attempted to reduce the threshold to $50,000, while Treasury officials said that $60,000 should be the limit.
