However, if it follows the same structure as the March CARES Act, those qualifying for a full stimulus payment include individuals earning up to $75,000, or $112,500 as head of household and $150,000 as a married couple filing jointly. For every $100 earned over these income thresholds, payments are reduced by $5, up to a specified maximum income.

I can see each child should receive the 600 as well.

Why should 2 at $75k each be punished for living in the same household?

 

[Penelope]

Its way too high, 1 person should have a 35,000 limit and a couple should have a 70 limit.

Now a couple making 150 limit gets the subsidy. It to high.
