The House’s 1,815-page bill, dubbed the HEROES Act, calls for almost $1 trillion in additional aid for state and local governments, a second round of direct payments to American households and $200 billion for “hazard pay” for essential workers.
As the Democratic-run House of Representatives prepares to approve its $3 trillion coronavirus relief bill in a vote on Friday evening, analysts are saying it’s likely that President Donald Trump will end up signing a new aid package into law next month or later following extensive negotiations.
Henrietta Treyz, director of economic policy at Veda Partners, said in a note that the next package is likely to have a final price tag of between $1 trillion and $1.5 trillion, and “it will now come in June at the earliest.” The next package would follow last month’s $484 billion measure that has been described as a “Phase 3.5” response to the coronavirus crisis. It also comes after the $2.2 trillion CARES Act that passed in late March, a mid-March package costing an estimated $192 billion, and an $8 billion measure that was finalized in early March.
