From NY Times<\/a>: <\/font>Another dose of relief is finally on the way for the millions of Americans facing financial distress because of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

President Trump on Sunday night signed an economic relief package<\/a> that will provide a round of $600 stimulus payments to most Americans and partly restore the enhanced federal unemployment benefit, offering $300 for at least 10 weeks.
