Another round of stimulus checks is on the way.

President Joe Biden signed a COVID-19 relief package worth nearly $1.9 trillion into law on Thursday. The legislation includes $1,400 direct payments, a $300 weekly federal unemployment benefit until September, additional money for parents, funding for a national vaccination program, and billions of dollars for state and local governments and reopening schools.

This historic legislation is about rebuilding the backbone of this country and giving people in this nation working people, middle class folks, the people who build the country a fighting chance, Biden said before signing the bill.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that stimulus checks could reach Americans bank accounts as soon as this weekend.

This week marks the first anniversary of the World Health Organization declaring the coronavirus a global pandemic. Since then, the United States has lost nearly 530,000 lives to COVID-19. Tens of millions of Americans lost their jobs as businesses shuttered, schools closed their doors, and Americans were told to stay home.

This round of coronavirus relief is not only one of the most progressive packages ever written into law, it is also the biggest increase in federal assistance for working families in generations.

It is a major legislative achievement for Biden, who promised voters a historic recovery bill, including another round of stimulus checks, within his first months in office. The final package includes nearly all of the policies Biden proposed in January before he was even inaugurated. Democrats, despite holding razor-thin majorities in both houses of Congress, stood in line behind the presidents proposal.

The Senate passed the bill over the weekend, and the House passed the bill on Wednesday. Not a single Republican vote for the final package. Only one Democrat, Rep. Jared Golden (Maine), voted against the bill.
