S. 4495 · 116th Congress
Automatic Cash Assistance Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 116th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

This bill allows recipients of Social Security, railroad retirement, and veterans disability benefits to automatically receive stimulus payments under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act or the CARES Act regardless of whether they filed income tax returns in 2018 or 2019.
