On Dec. 20, the House and Senate passed H.R. 133, The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021. The bill includes a $900 comprehensive package to provide COVID-19 relief to businesses and individuals, including a second round of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans for small businesses, extension of the Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC), extension of unemployment insurance and $600 Economic Impact Payments (EIP) for individuals.
|
The bill does not include funding for state and local governments or liability protection for businesses. Lawmakers have set aside these issues in favor of a bill that includes items that have bipartisan support.
|
|
H.R. 133 is the largest assistance package to be considered since passage of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act in March 2020.
|
H.R. 133 also includes a $1.4 trillion omnibus spending bill for the fiscal year that began Oct. 1.
|
The bill is now awaits President Donald Trump’s signature.
