The second round of stimulus checks could come as there could be a breakthrough for a bipartisan agreement after the House of Representatives is set to vote today, Saturday for a bill that will give the cash-strapped US Postal Service (USPS) with $25 billion.

The leaders of House Democratic are calling for the chamber to be back to Washington, D.C., to vote on the request for $25 billion funding of USPS amid the increased demands due to COVID-19 pandemic. According to CNN, the bill would try to prohibit changes to the USPS that slowed the mail service and raised concerns about some mail-in ballots for the U.S. election that might not reach voters before the election day.

The bill has the Democrats' initial request of funding for the Postal Service worth $25 billion as Senate Democrats continue to criticize Louis DeJoy, Postmaster General, for the changes in the USPS that the Democrats said will affect the ability of Americans to vote.

Second Round of Stimulus Checks: Possible to Come After Voting for US Postal Service Funding Today
US Postal Service Funding In Question As President Trump Threatens To Withheld In Budget Negotiations CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - AUGUST 13: A postal worker leaves a United State Postal Service facility on August 13, 2020 in Chicago, Illinois. President Donald Trump said today that he opposes additional funding for the Postal Service because the lack of additional funding would make it more difficult to deliver mail-in ballots.

According to NewsWeek, the HEROES Act of Democrats includes funding for USPS that has been reflected by the Republicans. The voting on Saturday with negotiations deadlocked over a second stimulus package could open for a deal that Mark Meadows, White House chief of staff, said that President Donald Trump is willing to sign this week.

Meadows told CNN, "Let's go ahead and get a stimulus check out to Americans. Let's make sure that small businesses are protected, and put the postal funding in there. We'll pass it tomorrow. The president will sign it."

Senate Republicans have reportedly proposed a $500 billion stimulus package that did not mention stimulus payments. However, the proposal included $300 in weekly unemployment benefits, more money for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), and the funds for health and education, as per Politico.

The return of lawmakers for the USPS funding vote and the apparent willingness of President Trump to strike a deal and fund the USPS can give ground for an agreement on the next round of stimulus checks. Democrats may not agree to any agreement without direct payments, but if Congress could agree on the amount, there might be a good result after the voting, as per Forbes.

"Stimulus checks are one more important item that could be affected by any mail delay. Those delays affect people in all 50 states and D.C., so this is a pretty universal concern," Kris Cox, a senior tax policy analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, told CNBC.

According to NewsWeek, DeJoy told a panel of congressional lawmakers that the election ballots would be prioritized and would not be delayed on Friday. "I think the American public should have the opportunity to vote by mail," DeJoy said.
