COVID-19 relief is heading to American families across the country.
CBS News: “Biden signs $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan into law”
This week, I voted to pass the American Rescue Plan and now, President Biden has signed it into law.
This is a huge step forward in our country’s efforts to end the pandemic, sending relief to families and communities that need it the most so we can safely get back to work, back to school, and get vaccines in arms:
*
Provides
direct
payments
of
$1,400
per
person
and
extends
the
child
tax
credit,
which
is
expected
to
cut
childhood
poverty
by
45%
*
Expands
vaccine
distribution,
COVID-19
testing,
and
contact
tracing
to
get
the
pandemic
under
control
*
Sends
critical
funding
to
K-12
schools
and
higher
education
institutions
and
expands
broadband
access
*
Supports
small
businesses
by
expanding
the
PPP
program,
providing
emergency
grants,
and
sending
resources
to
restaurants
*
Extends
unemployment
benefits
and
delivers
support
for
veterans
out
of
work
due
to
the
pandemic
*
Provides
assistance
for
renters
and
homeowners
and
helps
ensure
people
have
food
security
The American Rescue Plan also includes a provision I’ve been fighting for since the beginning of the pandemic that will deliver urgently needed aid to state and local governments, help keep first responders on the job, help local communities weather the economic crises they’re facing, and ensure essential services can continue.
We’re at a turning point in this pandemic, and this major piece of legislation will help make sure we can get around the corner, put this pandemic in the rear view mirror, and rebuild.
Thank you and take care,
Mikie
