To be explicitly clear, no bill has been passed into law that would guarantee Americans another round of $1,200 stimulus checks. However, prominent government officials and lawmakers have said more stimulus checks are coming, and the next official bill could be released tomorrow on Monday. Both Republican and Democrat lawmakers are now on board with the idea.
