House Introduces Emergency Bill Regarding Coronavirus

The US House introduced an emergency bill to respond to the Coronavirus pandemic that includes more funding for aging and disability assistance (including home delivered meal programs), paid sick days and paid leave components, increased funding for WIC/SNAP, increased funding for state unemployment insurance programs and increased Medicaid FMAP funds.

Here’s the link to the bill: https://rules.house.gov/sites/democrats.rules.house.gov/files/BILLS-116hr6201ih.pdf. The portion on aging and disability services begins on page 8.

The House is planning to vote on this bill tonight. If you would like to support this bill, please call your representatives and encourage them to vote. (You can find your representative here.)
