Wondering if you are going to get a $5,000 check from DOGE? Here's an update on what stimulus check is about and if you qualify

With the conversation turning to a spending bill to fund the government, some Americans may be wondering what that means for the proposed $5,000 DOGE check, meant to be funded with savings from the Department of Government Efficiency and sent to taxpayers as a dividend.

The checks would only go to Americans who are net-income taxpayers, according to the proposal. NBC News reported that this means low-income households may not benefit from the possible payments.
