They said there was \"nothing else since then.\"The Treasury didn’t immediately respond to Benzinga’s requests for a comment on this matter. This story will be updated as soon as we receive a response.\nEarly this year, President Donald Trump proposed a “DOGE Dividend” tax refund plan, as part of which 20% of the savings achieved by his administration’s Department of Government Efficiency will be returned to American citizens. \nCritics such as Erica York, Vice President of federal tax policy at the Tax Foundation, however, have warned that such a move would “reduce the effectiveness of the entire effort.”\nA few weeks ago, Trump proposed issuing tariff rebate checks to Americans, funded by the tariff revenue being collected by the government. “We're thinking about a little rebate,” he said, while also emphasizing the need to pay down the national debt.\nFollowing this, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) introduced a bill based on the same, named the “American Worker Rebate Act.” The Bill proposes sending tariff rebate checks worth at least $600 for every adult and child, with larger rebates if tariff revenues surpass projections.\nPhoto Courtesy: Steve Heap On Shutterstock.com\nRead More:","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
