UNITED STATES – NOVEMBER 12: Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., are seen after a news conference to discuss the House passed Heroes Act and coronavirus relief legislation in the Capitol Visitor Center on Thursday, November 12, 2020.

On Dec. 20, 2020, Congress finally reached an agreement on a $900 billion Covid relief package that includes $600 for each adult and child.

The deal also includes an additional $300 per week in unemployment benefits and $25 billion to extend the eviction moratorium and keep unemployed renters in their homes. (Photo By Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images)

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer agreed to President Donald Trump’s demand to increase the paltry $600 direct payments to $2,000 per American or he would refuse to sign their $900 billion pork-filled Covid-19 relief package.  If Trump signs the bill this week, some Americans may receive $6,000 for a family of 3 or $10,000 for a family of 5 in direct payments before Christmas.
