Unemployment support will increase substantially, helping more Americans.
An additional $600 per week will be added to each state’s normal unemployment rate for up to four months and provide an additional 13 weeks of benefits to those who remain unemployed after state unemployment benefits are no longer available. This program will include independent freelancers and gig workers such as Uber drivers.

This measure provides $500 billion to the Department of Treasury’s exchange stabilization fund for use in loans, loan guarantees, and other investments for distressed businesses that do not qualify for the small business relief.
