President Donald Trump signed a $900 billion pandemic relief package last night that will deliver long-sought cash to businesses and individuals. It also averts a government shutdown.
The bill includes money for small business loans and direct payments to qualifying individuals of $600.
Also, over the weekend Governor Jared Polis announced he has extended an order that provides a one-time cash payment to Coloradans who are experiencing economic hardship due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The executive order gives qualifying Coloradans a one-time cash stimulus payment of $375. Individuals who were previously making less than $52,000 a year and qualified for unemployment at least once since March 15 qualify for the payment.
