Hawley officially introduces bill to send out $600 tariff rebate checks

Citing record-breaking tariff revenue, Missouri US Senator Josh Hawley has officially introduced legislation that would provide tariff rebate checks of at least $600 per adult and child to American families.

NBC News reports this would be similar to the stimulus checks the government distributed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Like President Trump proposed, my legislation would allow hard-working Americans to benefit from the wealth that Trump’s tariffs are returning to this country,” Hawley said in a statement.

The bill would reportedly ensure that the amount given to each adult and dependent child is at least $600.

It also allows for a bigger rebate per person if tariff revenue exceeds projections.

The bill reduces the rebate by 5% for joint filers who have adjusted gross income in excess of $150,000, a head of household whose income exceeds $112,500 and an individual taxpayer whose income exceeds $75,000.
