Lawmakers are running up against deadlines for the expiration of federal assistance programs on evictions, unemployment, and paid leave later this month.The bipartisan group of lawmakers spearheading efforts to pass a coronavirus relief plan this month unveiled the legislation on Monday. The moderate senators broke off $160 billion in aid to state and local governments as well as a liability shield sheltering firms from virus-related lawsuits into a separate plan.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer embraced the $908 billion bipartisan framework earlier this month in a major concession from previous demands for a multitrillion dollar relief package. Senate Republicans, meanwhile, have pushed for a slimmer aid plan that would direct the bulk of federal dollars towards small businesses, vaccine distribution, and schools.
