You may have already heard that congressional leaders reached a deal on a nearly $900 billion COVID-19 relief package. The deal includes individual checks, loans to small businesses, and benefits to the unemployed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., the bill’s text must be finalized. Barring any “last-minute obstacles,<\/em>” it must pass the House and Senate before President Donald Trump can sign it into law. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New COVID-19 relief deal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  1.  Temporary (for the next 10 weeks<\/em>) $300-per-week supplemental unemployment benefit – (down from $600 provided under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act passed in March).

    <\/li>
  2. According to The New York Times<\/a>, the bill also would give an additional federal benefit of $100 a week to those who earned at least $5,000 a year in self-employment income.
    <\/li>
  3. Some people could see a lapse in their unemployment benefits because outdated state systems could slow down the distribution of aid.

    <\/li>
  4. Most Americans will get up to $600 direct payment, and $600 per child.

    <\/li>
  5. The COVID-19 relief Bill also includes $1,200 for couples making up to $150,000 a year.

    <\/li>
  6. The amount of the benefit would be reduced for those who earned more than $75,000 in 2019.

    <\/li>
  7. The agreement provides a tax credit to support employers offering paid sick leave.

    <\/li>
  8. $25 billion is provided for direct rental assistance.

    <\/li>
  9. The eviction moratorium has been extended.

    <\/li>
  10. The PPP small business lending program has been extended. An additional $20 billion<\/em>.

    <\/li>
  11. Live venues will get $15 billion in grants.

    <\/li>
  12. $82 billion in education funding.

    <\/li>
  13. The COVID-19 relief bill doesn’t extend a freeze on payments and interest for federal student loan borrowers.

    <\/li>
  14. It also provided $13 billion in increased benefits for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP.

    <\/li>
  15. There is $30 billion for procurement and distribution of the vaccine.

    <\/li>
  16. The COVID-19 Relief will put an end to surprise medical billing.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
