Here Comes The Stimulus!
Help’s on the way! How much? When?
America’s 2 trillion-dollar stimulus package cleared the Senate Wednesday with expectations of House passage Friday, then prompt signature by President Trump. Millions of households will receive direct payments of $1200 plus an added $500 per child benefit, with benefits phased out at higher income levels. Enhanced jobless aid now includes payments to freelancers and gig workers. A loan program will channel aid to small businesses. Time frame? Realistically, expect 4 to 6 weeks for delivery to your mailbox.
