Millions of American citizens who were previously denied a stimulus check as an unintended consequence of the CARES Act will soon be eligible for a new round of direct payments, in addition to the $1,200 individual checks they missed out on in the Spring.

In the $900 billion stimulus package set to be approved by Congress Monday night, lawmakers amended the eligibility for a new round of $600 checks to include American adults and children in mixed-status families, where at least one spouse is not a U.S. citizen.
