To help provide U.S. taxpayers with stimulus payments to get through the recession brought about by the coronavirus, the idea of a digital dollar has been brought to light once again by legislators. The Automatic BOOST to Communities Act (ABC Act) reintroduces the digital dollar concept and uses similar language to legislation brought forward in March per Coindesk.
The bill was brought forward on the heels of continuing troubles with the $1,200 stimulus payments that the CARES Act authorized. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has been giving out payments to taxpayers. However, many people have not received their funds or have the ability to verify the status of their payments because of problems.
Under the ABC Act, Congress would have the Fed make “FedAccounts” that would let citizens, companies and residents in the nation access financial services. Legislation from Thursday indicated per the report that “no later than January 1, 2021, the Secretary shall offer all recipients of BOOST payments the option to receive their payments in digital dollar wallets.”
