This is a fragile financial time for many Americans and the recovery rebates are set to provide much needed relief.
That's why I sent a letter to the IRS watchdog this week urging it to engage in a public awareness and education campaign informing Americans of scams and frauds related to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
I also encourage all Iowans to stay vigilant and protect themselves from those trying to cheat them out of their money and benefits.
This week, I joined several of my Senate colleagues in a letter to the Department of Agriculture, requesting additional funds be allocated to the biofuel industry to help during these unprecedented times. You can read more about my letter here.
The coronavirus has brought a great deal of uncertainty to our small businesses. On Thursday, Senate Democrats decided to block additional funding for the Paycheck Protection Program, a bipartisan program that they agreed to just a few short weeks ago. I'm hopeful Congress will put aside partisan games and get back to work for Americans.
