Meanwhile, unemployment remains at historic levels as a growing number of Americans struggle to get enough food.
Beyond the unemployment benefits, the bill would provide just over $100 billion in funds for education, a sticking point that some conservative GOP lawmakers have argued against. The legislation would also provide $10 billion in funding to bolster the U.S. Postal Service, as Democrats have accused the White House ofthe federal agency ahead of the election.
The new GOP bill would also give $45 billion to the Department of Health and Human Services, as the federal agency continues to address the novel coronavirus pandemic. Of that $45 billion, $20 billion would go toward vaccine and therapeutic manufacturing and production, $16 billion would go to state and local governments and $6 billion would be put aside to prepare for and distribute potential vaccines.
