Before reaching President Biden's desk, the legislation will have to be passed again by the US House after the US Senate made changes to its version, which Democrats approved along party lines last Saturday.
The Senate's changes include reducing the jobless benefits to $300/week (from $400/week in the House bill) and extending them slightly to Sept. 6.
The Senate limited eligibility for the $1,400 checks by capping the payments for those who make $80,000, or $160,000 for couples.
