President Donald Trump has signed a multibillion-dollar emergency aid package that will provide paid family and sick leave for many Americans during the coronavirus pandemic.
Additionally, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said the Trump administration wants checks of $1,000 per person and $500 per child to go out within three weeks of Congress passing a stimulus package. A lot of the details of this proposal are still up in the air.
The proposal was put together by the Treasury Department.
"The plan is $500 billion in two tranches,โ Mnuchin said on Fox Businessโ Mornings with Maria show. โThe first one would be $1,000 per person, $500 per child," or $3,000 for a family of four, Mnuchin said.
