Sen. Mitt Romney is proposing that every American adult receive a $1,000 check to get themselves and their families through the financial burdens brought on by the coronavirus.

In a series of proposals outlined by Romney (R-Utah) on Monday, the senator suggested that Congress go beyond the measures taken in the House coronavirus response package.

“Every American adult should immediately receive $1,000 to help ensure families and workers can meet their short-term obligations and increase spending in the economy,” the Utah Republican wrote.

“Congress took similar action during the 2001 and 2008 recessions. While expansions of paid leave, unemployment insurance, and SNAP benefits are crucial, the check will help fill the gaps for Americans that may not quickly navigate different government options.”

Romney’s other policy proposals included providing grants to small businesses and allowing loan deferments for recent graduates impacted by the virus.

Asked by The Post whether the proposal would involve recurring payments similar to the platform of former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang, a spokeswoman for Romney said that the idea “is a one-time payment intended to help families and individuals with immediate needs, not a broader UBI proposal.”

Yang, who dropped out of the presidential race after poor showings in Iowa and New Hampshire, ran his campaign around the issue of universal basic income (UBI).

The “Freedom Dividend” — as his campaign called it — was a program under which any American over the age of 18 could opt in and receive $1,000 a month. Yang argues that the federally funded stimulus would serve as a boost to the economy while giving individuals the freedom of financial stability.

Yang has since emerged as a potential candidate in the 2021 NYC mayoral race, though the entrepreneur has remained coy about his intentions. The Democrat, however, has suggested that New York City adopt a UBI.

A spokesperson for Yang did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment on Romney’s policy proposal.
