stephanie ruhle, let's dig into the bill a bit. what do folks struggling right now need to know about what's in it, especially about the relief checks and when they could see them? >> let's talk about that. those direct payments, $1400 for any american making $75,000 or less. now that starts to back off when you get higher than that. you get some relief up to $80,000 but beyond that you will not be getting a check. this is going to impact a lot of americans. we're expecting 90% of u.s. households to get some form of direct payment and relief, but you have to remember it is all about filing your taxes. whether or not you're eligible is determined by how much money you made last year. the relief checks we saw last year, were based on people's tax returns for 2019. given the amount of people that lost their job during the pandemic, there's going to be a whole lot more people eligible and to get that check, you have to file your taxes, people are advised to do it doing direct payment, give your bank information when you file your taxes
