Legislation

Consolidated Appropriations Act

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, comprised a series of amendments made to H.R. 133, the United States-Mexico Economic Partnership Act.[334] The U.S. Senate and U.S. House passed the act on December 21, 2020, and President Trump (R) signed it into law on December 27, 2020.[335]

The $900 billion in spending included:[336][337][338]

  • A second round of direct stimulus payments to American citizens based on an income threshold. The act called for $600 payments to individuals who reported an income of $75,000 or less in the 2019 tax year. Above $75,000, the amount is set to decrease, with no payments going to individuals who earned $99,000 or more.
  • An extension to an existing moratorium on evictions through January 31, 2021, and $25 billion towards a rental assistance fund.
  • $120 billion of funding towards unemployment insurance.
  • Federal unemployment benefits of up to $300 per week for qualifying individuals through March 14, 2021.

The Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation fund was extended for the same duration.

Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act

On March 19, 2020, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) introduced the CARES Act in the U.S. Senate.[313] After several days of negotations between McConnell, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, the Senate passed the CARES Act by a 96-0 vote on March 25.[305] On March 27, the U.S. House passed the CARES Act by a voice vote, which does not require a recorded vote total.[301] President Donald Trump (R) signed the legislation on March 27.[300] The $2 trillion included in the legislation includes:

  • Roughly $500 billion earmarked for assisting large businesses. Of this $500 billion, roughly $87 billion is allocated to airlines. $55 billion is allocated to help cover employee wages, insurance, and salaries, $25 billion is for passenger air carriers, up to $4 billion for cargo air carriers, and up to $3 billion for airline contractors. The bill creates an inspector general to oversee pandemic recovery. The inspector general, along with a committee, will provide oversight of all loans and other uses of taxpayer dollars. There is a provision of the bill that prohibits the president, vice president, and members of Congress from benefiting from the money allocated to corporations
  • Roughly $339.8 billion is set aside for programs carried out by state and local governments. Of this $339.8 billion, $274 billion will be allocated to specific COVID-19 response efforts, and $5 billion will go toward Community Development Block Grants, $13 billion for K-12 schools, $14 billion for higher education, and $5.3 billion for programs for children and families.
  • Roughly $377 billion allocated for assisting small businesses. Of this $377 billion, $10 billion for grants of up to $10,000 to provide emergency funds for small businesses to cover immediate operating costs. $350 billion is allocated for the Small Business Administration to provide loans of up to $10 million per business. $17 billion to cover six months of payments for small businesses already using SBA loans.
  • Roughly $300 billion is earmarked for aid in the form of individual payments of $1,200 for individuals making up to $75,000 annually.
  • Roughly $260 billion is earmarked for expanding unemployment assistance. The bill will raise unemployment payments by $600. It also adds an additional 13 weeks of unemployment insurance.
  • Roughly $100 billion is earmarked for hospitals responding to the coronavirus.
  • Roughly $24.8 billion is earmarked for food programs. Of that $24.8 billion, $8.8 billion is allocated to schools to provide meals for students, $15.5 billion is going to a food stamps programs called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as SNAP, and $450 million is allocated to food banks and other community food distribution programs.

In addition to the funding portion of the bill, there are also various provisions regarding higher education. For example, the bill defers payments on federal students loans through Sept. 30 without penalty, allows schools to turn unused work-study funds into supplemental grants, and students who drop out of school as a result of the coronavirus wouldn't have that time away from school deducted from their lifetime limits on subsidized loan and Pell grant eligibility.
