Creates monthly payments for most adults and a new tax on higher incomes to boost financial stability.

This bill would create a new program to send $250 monthly payments to most U.S. adults aged 19-67. To pay for this, it would also add a new 2.5% tax on adjusted gross incomes above $60,000 for couples or $30,000 for individuals. These changes aim to boost take-home pay and financial stability for many Americans.

What Would Change

Today, there are no federal monthly payments for most adults aged 19-67, nor is there a specific federal tax to fund such a program. If this bill became law, most adults in this age range would get $250 each month, and individuals earning over $30,000 (or couples over $60,000) would pay a new 2.5% supplemental income tax.

Key Provisions
