This is taken from the USA Today article: “That brings us to the question of what’s actually in the bill. Republicans have raised this question throughout the discussion of Biden’s proposal, in some cases exaggerating the nature of the spending that’s not tied directly to COVID-19 containment. A long list of initiatives is clearly related to the pandemic, however. About 22% of the total bill comes from the $422 billion set aside for $1,400-per-person stimulus checks. Another 13% ($246 billion) is for extending additional unemployment funding of $400 a week. A combined 12% is going to: Subsidized COBRA for laid-off workers. Affordable Care Act subsidies for the next two years. Expanded nutrition assistance to replace school lunch programs during the pandemic. Funding for testing and contact tracing. Disaster Relief Fund increases and covering COVID-19-related funeral expenses. Grants to airlines and contractors to freeze layoffs through September. Defense Production Act funding for medical supplies. Grants for restaurants and bars that have lost revenue in the pandemic. Economic Injury Disaster Loan Advance grants of up to $10,000 per business Another $519 billion - 27% of the total - is going to state and local governments and schools, much of which will make up losses related to the pandemic and help schools reopen. Republicans note much of the school funding, however, won’t be spent immediately.
