The bill passed by the House Friday, May 15 -- which Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats are calling the HEROES Act (PDF), according to a fact sheet from the House Appropriations Committee -- includes a wide range of benefits, such as a second direct payment to individuals and households. It's suggested that the second bill, if passed by the Senate and then signed into law by President Trump, would provide a cash payment of up to $1,200 per family member, with a cap of $6,000 per household.  https://www.cnet.com/personal-finance/second-stimulus-check-for-1200-heres-the-status-of-new-government-proposal/
