Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen stated on Sunday that she thought income levels identified by conservative Democratic senators to limit which Americans receive direct payments courtesy of the Biden administration s COVID-19 aid package were too low.
Yellen remarked she believes individual Americans earning $60,000 annually ought to be qualified for the direct payments. She proposes a higher figure than the one identified by senators, including Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), who has called for the payments to phase out at the $50,000-per-year income level.

President Joe Biden stated in a call with House Democrats that he was open to transferring $1,400 payments to a smaller cluster of Americans in the next series of COVID-19 relief legislation and changing his overall price tag of $1.9 trillion.
Biden on Monday addressed House Democrats he would not alter the amount of the $1,400 payments proposal. He remarked that people had been vowed with that amount.
$1400 Direct Payments for Smaller Groups
The president stated he would consider limiting the direct payments to lower-income individuals as Republicans previously proposed.
According to Biden, We can t walk away from an additional $1,400 in direct checks, because people need it. I m not going to start my administration by breaking a promise to people. We can better target the number I m OK with that, reported The New York Times.
