The President announced this on the social media platform Truth Social.
A month before the US mid-term elections, Trump announced that his administration would immediately begin sending $90 ‘cheques’ to more than 20 million ‘wonderful elderly people’ to help them pay their Medicare premiums.
In a separate press release, the White House noted that eligible elderly people would receive a direct payment of $90 in early October, or paper cheques if they were unable to receive a direct payment.
The total amount paid out to 20 million people will therefore be just under $2 billion.
