Looks like they've reached an agreement, and there's some good news in the negotiated results:

The bill will give a one-time check of $1,200 to Americans who make up to $75,000. Individuals with no or little tax liability would receive the same amount, unlike the initial GOP proposal that would have given them a minimum of $600.

It's a drop in the bucket, but it's good to see that those most in need will get the full amount as well. And the spinning never ends with the politicos:

Senate Republicans on Tuesday were characterizing the direct assistance as “snap loans” instead of grants, to avoid the stigma of the proposal being called a bailout, but it has yet to be determined how the government would be compensated.
