Legislators finalized an agreement late Monday on a $900 billion COVID-19 relief spending package that would give U.S. households a direct stimulus payment as soon as next week.
“This is a very, very fast way of getting money into the economy. Let me emphasize: People are going to see this money at the beginning of next week,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told CNBC on Monday morning. “So, it’s very fast. It’s money that gets recirculated in the economy. People go out and spend this money, and that helps small business, and that helps getting more people back to work.”
