Americans are receiving letters signed by President Trump that offer an explanation about the coronavirus stimulus relief payments they’re getting and also tout the bipartisan economic relief package he “proudly” signed into law last month that made the payments possible.

According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which ABC News reports sent out the letters along with the Treasury Department, the messages are intended to provide Americans with information about the payment.

In the letter, the recipient is notified of how much money they will be receiving in stimulus relief and the method of payment.

The letter also touches on the CARES Act, the $2 trillion relief package Congress passed last month.

“On March 27, 2020, Congress passed with overwhelming bipartisan support the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), which I proudly signed into law,” the letter states. 

Trump then goes on to thank the House and Senate for “working with [his] administration to fast-track this $2.2 trillion in much-need economic relief to the American people.”

The move comes about two weeks after Americans first began receiving paper checks as part of the measure that also had Trump’s name printed on them. It marked the first time in history that a president’s name appeared on disbursement from the IRS.
