Good afternoon,
The Trump Administration is working around the clock to deliver CARES Act funding with unprecedented speed and accuracy to local governments, small businesses, and working Americans impacted by the coronavirus epidemic. Yesterday, the Department of the Treasury launched a web portal to facilitate the disbursement of CARES Act funding to State, Local, and Tribal governments.
Additionally, the Treasury Department released an updated Paycheck Protection Program FAQ Sheet. President Trump continues to call on Congress to replenish the Paycheck Protection Program that is supporting hundreds of thousands of small businesses and millions of Americans.
Finally, this week alone over 80 million eligible Americans are set to receive direct payments– providing immediate economic relief for families during the coronavirus outbreak.
Today, the President participates in a meeting with recovered COVID-19 patients and later leads a meeting with Healthcare Executives. Members of the Coronavirus Task Force hold a press briefing at 5:00pm ET.
