Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Thom Tillis (R-NC) applauded the inclusion of their legislation, The American Citizen Coronavirus Relief Act (S.4071), in the coronavirus relief package. This measure will ensure that a U.S. citizen is eligible to receive an Economic Impact Payment (EIP) if he or she is married to a foreign national who is not currently a citizen of the United States. This inclusion will apply retroactively as a refundable tax rebate and eligibility is also included for the next round of EIPs. Earlier this year, during an interview with Telemundo Network, Senator Rubio expressed his interest in remedying this ineligibility under the CARES Act.
“Fixing the provision that denied some eligible American citizens from receiving a federal stimulus check under the CARES Act was an oversight that needed correction,” Rubio said. “No American should have been blocked from receiving federal assistance during a global pandemic because of who they married. I thank Senator Tillis and my other Senate colleagues for their leadership in getting this across the finish line.”
“Every eligible American citizen should receive the direct economic stimulus payment from the CARES Act and this new COVID-19 relief package as we continue to battle this pandemic,” Tillis said. “I am proud this bipartisan legislation to fix this oversight will become law so hard-working North Carolinians receive the stimulus payment they deserve.”

RUBIO, TILLIS APLAUDEN CORRECCIÓN DEL CARES ACT PARA PERMITIRLE CHEQUES DE ESTÍMULO A CIUDADANOS DE EE. UU.
Washington, D.C.— Los senadores estadounidenses Marco Rubio (R-FL) y Thom Tillis (R-NC) aplaudieron la inclusión de su legislación, La Ley de Alivio al Ciudadano Americano por el Coronavirus (S.4071), en el paquete de ayuda federal por el coronavirus. Esta medida asegurará que un ciudadano de EE.UU. sea elegible para recibir un Pago de Alivio por el Impacto Económico (EIP, por sus siglas en inglés) si él o ella está casado con un extranjero que actualmente no es un ciudadano de EE.UU. Esta inclusión se aplicará retroactivamente como una devolución de impuestos reembolsable y la elegibilidad también se incluye para la próxima ronda de cheques de estímulo económico. A principios de este año, durante una entrevista con Telemundo Network, el senador Rubio expresó su interés en remediar esta inelegibilidad en la Ley CARES.
“Arreglar la provisión que le negaba a algunos ciudadanos de EE.UU. elegibles para recibir un cheque de estímulo económico bajo la Ley CARES era una omisión que tenía que ser corregida”, Rubio dijo. “Ningún americano tuvo que ser bloqueado de recibir asistencia federal durante la pandemia global del COVID. Le agradezco al senador Tillis y a mis otros colegas en el senado por su liderazgo para lograr que esto fuese una realidad”.
