MOSTThe company’s name appeared on stimulus checks sent by the Internal Revenue Service to millions of Americans.
“We are doing everything in our power to expedite payments and not delay them, so the name of the president will not appear in the memo for this round of [stimulus] checks, ”Psaki told reporters at an afternoon meeting. “The checks will be signed by a career official at the Bureau of Fiscal Service. This is not about [Biden]. It’s about the American people getting relief. “
Psaki said the president does not believe it is “necessary” to have his name printed on checks.
“He wanted to get them out as soon as possible,” said Psaki.
Trump’s name was printed on tens of millions of checks sent to Americans under his administration, which was an unprecedented move. The Biden White House is returning to the usual practice of getting a career official to sign payments issued by the Treasury Department.

The House is about to approve Biden’s $ 1.9 trillion coronavirus relief proposal on Wednesday, sending it to the president’s desk for his signature. The bill includes funding $ 1,400 for payments to Americans who earn up to $ 75,000, heads of households who earn up to $ 112,500, and couples who together earn up to $ 150,000.
The White House expects many Americans to receive payments by the end of the month.
