With the House expected to pass the coronavirus stimulus package on Friday and Donald Trump expected to sign it soon after, Americans are wondering when they'll get their piece of the $2 trillion economic relief package.

- If you've moved, you should notify the IRS as soon as possible via their website.
- How much you receive depends on how much you make. Those who make less than $75,000 will get $1,200, plus an additional $500 for every child in their household.
- For those who make more than $75,000, the payment is reduced by $5 for every extra $100 over that benchmark, and zeros out if you make $99,000 or as a couple, more than $198,000.
