HOUSE Democrats on Monday proposed additional $1,400 stimulus checks and boosted unemployment benefits as Congress tackles the $1.9trillion Covid-19 relief package.
The proposal from the House Ways and Means Committee would also expand tax credits for low-income Americans and families with children and provide health care subsidies for the unemployed.
The committee plans to vote on the proposal by the end of the week.
Congress members are expected to consider the proposal on the heels of President Joe Biden’s coronavirus relief package.
Biden’s package aims to combat the coronavirus pandemic and help the economy.
Since the start of the pandemic, more than 460,000 Americans have died and 10million people have lost their jobs.
