Lawmakers propose $2K per month payment to people until economic activity returns to normal

While President Donald Trump contends that data indicates the U.S. is past the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic – reopening the economy will come with challenges.

Trump called the data ‘encouraging’.

However, Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) and Ro Khanna (D-CA) introduced a new round of relief that would provide a $2,000 monthly payment to qualifying Americans until employment returns to pre-COVID-19 levels.

It would be called the Emergency Money for the People Act and would provide $2,000 per month to those who make less than $130,000 annually, and are over the age of 16.
