Additional COVID-19 Funds Passed Senate

The U.S. Senate has passed the $484 billion virus relief bill today. The U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote as early as tomorrow. We are closing our sign on letter at 5 pm MT today and will send it to Congressman Fulcher and Congressman Simpson as soon as possible.

The package includes: 

• More than $320 billion designated for the Payroll Protection Program (PPP) that was fully depleted last week. 
• $60 billion for Emergency Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) and grants. 
• $25 billion is approved to support COVID-19 testing needs. 
• $75 billion for hospitals.
