The Senate will narrow the income eligibility for the next round of $1,400 coronavirus-related stimulus checks included in a bill expected to be taken up this week.
A Democratic official says President Joe Biden and Senate Democrats have agreed to tighten the upper income limits at which people could qualify for stimulus checks in the party's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill.
That is a major concession to moderates as party leaders prepared to move their legislation through the Senate.
Families who earn more than $160,000 a year and individuals who earn more than $80,000 will get no check at all.
The House version of the bill sets the income caps at $200,000 for couples and $100,000 for individuals.
The official also said Wednesday the COVID-19 relief measure Senate Democrats plan to unveil will also retain the $400 weekly emergency jobless benefits that were included in a House-approved version of the legislation.
