Will There Be Tariff Rebate Checks in 2025? What We Know About Current Legislation
Senator Hawley’s American Worker Rebate Act would use over $100 billion in tariff revenue to provide minimum $600 payments per person to support families and boost the economy.
- In late July 2025, Senator Josh Hawley proposed the American Worker Rebate Act, which aims to distribute a minimum of $600 from tariff revenues to each U.S. adult and child through direct rebate payments.
- Hawley proposed the rebate to counteract what he called four years of Biden policies damaging families' savings while tariffs have generated over $100 billion so far in 2025.
- The plan, modeled on 2020 pandemic stimulus checks, would refund tariff revenue directly to citizens if signed into law amid opposition favoring debt reduction.
- Senators Bernie Moreno called the rebate idea "insane" and "extraordinarily inflationary," while Rand Paul said, "There is no rebate if there's no money."
- Republicans control Congress and the White House; however, strong internal opposition and concerns over the $37 trillion debt make the rebate's approval uncertain.
