If you meet this single requirement, you qualify for Trump’s $2,000 tariff dividends
So who actually gets the $2,000?
For now, there’s no official plan, no government forms, and no set rules.
But one well-known commentator says the criteria might be much simpler than people expect.
“It is based on your income — that’s it. I’ll make it very clear here, is your income below $75,000 a year, as an individual, yes or no? That’s it — that’s all you need to know. If your answer is yes, you are most likely eligible for this,” he explained.

He noted that similar income cutoffs were used for prior federal relief efforts:
“Generally, the threshold they put in place for income is $75,000 as an individual, $150,000 as a married couple.”
That means people who are unemployed or earning money outside traditional jobs might still qualify. But the big catch remains: nothing has been formally approved.
