White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Wednesday reaffirmed that stimulus checks to Americans will be $1,400 and said the administration is looking into limiting income eligibility.

There was speculation that the stimulus payments would be less than the $1,400 amount that was proposed weeks ago. President Joe Biden included the checks in the $1.9 trillion stimulus package that he wanted to be passed but last week suggested that he is willing to negotiate on the amount for stimulus payments.
