US EditionSen. Josh Hawley introduces bill to send tariff rebate checks to Americans
UNITED STATES, JUL 28 – Sen. Hawley's bill would provide $600 per adult and child from tariff revenues projected to exceed $150 billion in 2025, aiming to offset tariff costs for American families.
- On Monday, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., introduced the American Worker Rebate Act to send $600 checks funded by tariff revenues.
- On Friday, Hawley vowed to introduce the legislation after President Donald Trump said he's 'thinking about a rebate.'
- Hawley structured the program as a refundable tax credit, similar to COVID-19 stimulus checks he co-authored in 2020, to deliver at least $600 pending approval.
- Facing opposition in the House, the legislation must pass both chambers of Congress and could face difficulty after House Speaker Mike Johnson poured cold water on a direct-check proposal earlier this year.
- The Treasury Department reported about $27 billion in customs duties for June, with analysts cautioning the rebate checks could fuel higher inflation.
