Lawmakers in the House are expected to vote on an additional $500 billion in coronavirus aid for Americans affected by the recent economic downturn. This includes an additional $335 billion for the Paycheck Protection Program, which provides loans to help small businesses keep their workers employed for eight weeks amid widespread closures and stay-at-home orders. The program ran out of money within 13 days of the coronavirus relief’s bill initial passage. The new aid package also includes another $60 billion for small business disaster loans.
