While the bill has many provisions, it uses two main tools to promote financial normalcy in this very abnormal period. One is greatly expanded unemployment insurance benefits for people who are thrown out of work due to the crisis — expanded in the sense of being more generous and also easier to qualify for. The other tool is loans and grants to businesses, with the grants tied to a requirement to keep workers on the payroll.
What all these provisions have in common is that they help people and enterprises keep their finances as close as possible to business-as-usual, even while much of the economy is shut down. In some cases, as with the lending provisions, that is achieved by promoting liquidity: ensuring that businesses that will be profitable again once this is all over have the cash they need to pay the bills today.
Republican concerns about the bill’s unemployment insurance provisions have similarly been insufficiently cognizant of the need to prioritize getting money out in a fast and orderly manner over perfectly fine-tuning who gets what amount of money.

Trump Signs $2 Trillion Coronavirus Relief Bill Into Law, Largest Aid Package In U.S. HistoryAs Congress passes a $2 trillion economic relief bill, Forbes reporter Jack Brewster explains what that will mean Remember 10% for me 👍💰💰💰 I don’t get it. The stimulus bill says they will use 2018 and then later states if you didn’t file a refund in 2018 they can replace 2019 with 2018 but all the media is reporting the exact opposite. They say they will use 2019 first. I don’t think that is what the bill states. So where is this money coming from? If the federal gov doesn’t have to balance out any other budget from this 2T stimulus bill? Millions even billions I get, but 2T? That’s way to much to not be balanced out somewhere else...
