There was a new bill introduced in Congress today and it’s a big one.
The Heroes Acts includes another round of “more substantial economic impact payments.” That second round of checks would be $1,200 per family member and up to $6,000 per household, according to CNBC.
This was proposed after the U.S is still in the process of sending the first round of stimulus checks.
Here’s a summary of what’s in the bill:
- Nearly 1 trillion dollars goes to state and local governments
- A second round of direct stimulus checks. $1,200 per person – up to $6,000 per household!
- Nearly 200 billion dollars in hazard pay for Frontline Workers
- 75 billion for additional testing and Coronavirus tracking
- Extending the $600 per week federal unemployment benefit through January
- Rent and mortgage assistance
- A special Affordable Care Act enrollment period for people who lost their jobs
- A 15% increase in SNAP benefits
- + a few other things, bringing the total to over 3 trillion dollars in stimulus
It’ll be voted on in the House Of Representatives on Friday. If it passes the House, it’s on to the Senate.
