the Details of the Package.

On Sunday night, President Trump signed stimulus bill into law. The package will extend aid to millions of struggling households through stimulus checks, enhanced federal unemployment benefits and money for small businesses, schools and child care, as well as for vaccine distribution. It also repurposes $429 billion in unused funding provided by the Cares Act for emergency lending programs run by the Federal Reserve.

The funding comes at a critical time for the recovery as the coronavirus pandemic is overwhelming the nation’s health care system.
