By Sen. Josh Hawley’s Office
On Monday, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) introduced the American Worker Rebate Act, legislation that would send rebate checks to working Americans following the historic revenue accrued through President Trump's tariff policy.
“Americans deserve a tax rebate after four years of Biden policies that have devastated families’ savings and livelihoods. Like President Trump proposed, my legislation would allow hard-working Americans to benefit from the wealth that Trump’s tariffs are returning to this country,” Senator Hawley said.
Senator Hawley announced this legislation last week after President Trump voiced support for this policy when he discussed record-breaking tariff revenue.
The United States now has record monthly tariff revenue, which nearly reached $30 billion in June. Several projections suggest the United States could see over $150 billion in tariff revenue in 2025 alone.
The American Worker Rebate Act would:
—Provide a tariff rebate check this year to American workers and families with similar parameters to the direct payments passed by Congress in 2020.
—Ensure the amount of the rebate is at least $600 per adult and dependent child (e.g. $2,400 for a family of four).
—Allow for a larger credit per person if tariff revenue exceeds current projections for 2025.
