English/ Español: Rubio, Tillis Introduce Bill to Allow Stimulus Money for U.S. Citizens Married to Non-Citizens
Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Thom Tillis (R-NC) introduced The American Citizen Coronavirus Relief Act, which would amend the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which prohibits U.S. citizens who jointly file taxes with a spouse that does not have a Social Security Number (SSN) from receiving a recovery rebate. This bill would ensure a U.S. citizen will not be denied federal coronavirus assistance because he or she is married to a foreign national who is not currently a citizen of the United States. The American Citizen Coronavirus Relief Act maintains the SSN requirement but would allow U.S. citizens to receive Economic Impact Payment (EIP) the same way a single tax filer would.
Last month, during an interview with Telemundo Network, Senator Rubio expressed his interest in remedying this ineligibility in the CARES Act. A one pager of The American Citizen Coronavirus Relief Act can be found here. A broadcast quality video message from Rubio can be found here.
“No American should be denied a federal stimulus check because they are married to a foreign national who is not a U.S. citizen,” Rubio said. “Amid a global pandemic, we must ensure Americans are receiving the funds appropriated by the federal government to keep families afloat during this national crisis.”
“In March I worked to pass the bipartisan CARES Act to provide economic stimulus payments to North Carolina as we battle this pandemic,” Senator Tillis said. “Every eligible citizen deserves this payment and I am proud to introduce legislation with Senator Rubio to fix this oversight.”
RUBIO, TILLIS PRESENTAN LEY PARA PERMITIR QUE CIUDADANOS DE EE.UU. CASADOS CON ALGUIEN QUE NO ES CIUDADANO AMERICANO PUEDA RECIBIR UN CHEQUE DE ESTÍMULO ECONÓMICO
Washington, D.C. — Los senadores estadounidenses Marco Rubio (R-FL) y Thom Tillis (R-NC) presentaron La Ley de Alivio al Ciudadano Americano por el Coronavirus para modificar la ley CARES Act (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act), la cual le prohíbe a un ciudadano americano que hace su declaración de impuestos junto a un cónyuge sin un número de Seguro Social (SSN) recibir un cheque de estímulo económico. Este proyecto de ley se aseguraría que a un ciudadano de EE. UU. no se le niegue la asistencia federal del coronavirus porque está casado con un ciudadano extranjero que actualmente no es ciudadano de los Estados Unidos. La Ley de Alivio al Ciudadano Americano por el Coronavirus mantiene el requisito de tener un número de Seguro Social pero le permitiría a los ciudadanos estadounidenses el recibir su Pago de Alivio por el Impacto Económico (EIP) de la misma manera que lo haría un solo contribuyente.
El mes pasado, durante una entrevista con Telemundo Network, el senador Rubio expresó su interés en remediar esta inelegibilidad en la Ley CARES. El resumen de La Ley de Alivio al Ciudadano Americano por el Coronavirus se encuentra aquí. Un mensaje de video del senador Rubio con calidad de transmisión se encuentra aquí.
“A ningún estadounidense se le debe negar un cheque de estímulo federal porque están casados con un extranjero que no es ciudadano estadounidense”, Rubio dijo. “En medio de una pandemia mundial, debemos asegurarnos de que los estadounidenses reciban los fondos asignados por el gobierno federal para mantener a flote a las familias durante esta crisis nacional”.
“En marzo trabajé para pasar la ley bipartidista CARES para proporcionarle cheques de estímulo económico para los residentes de Carolina del Norte mientras luchamos contra esta pandemia”, el senador Tillis dijo. “Todos los ciudadanos que son elegibles merecen este pago, me enorgullece presentar esta legislación con el senador Rubio para solucionar este error”.
