A forthcoming Senate Republican stimulus proposal will mirror CARES Act that included a one-time $1,200 economic impact payment to some Americans, said a top White House official on Thursday.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin was asked about the nature of the payments, saying it would be the same as the bill passed in March.
