WASHINGTON — As President Donald Trump signed a COVID-19 relief bill into law, more aid may be coming to Americans.

The White House is working to send $1,000 checks to most American adults within three weeks, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said during an interview with Fox Business Thursday morning.

The payments would be $1,000 per adult and $500 per child so that a family of two parents and two children would receive $3,000, Mnuchin told Fox Business Network. The goal is to get that money out in three weeks, he said.

“That’s a lot of money for hard-working Americans,” Mnuchin said.

If the COVID-19 pandemic continues through six weeks, the federal government will deliver another round of checks with the same worth, Mnuchin said.

It's unclear what the income threshold will be for Americans to qualify for the checks. However, according to the Hill, Senate Republicans are reportedly considering making the limit $75,000 for individuals and $150,000 for couples.

The Trump administration’s $1 trillion plan would also funnel cash to businesses to help keep workers on payroll.

The bill authorizes $500 million to provide access to nutritious foods to low-income pregnant women or mothers with young children who lose their jobs or are laid off due to the COVID-19 emergency.

The bill also allocates $400 million to assist local food banks to meet increased demand for low-income Americans during the emergency. Of the total, $300 million is for the purchase of nutritious foods and $100 million is to support the storage and distribution of the foods.
