To date, 3 stimulus packages have been passed – with a 4th likely in development. The first, which President Trump signed March 3, provided $8.3 billion in funds for health agencies and testing, and for small-business loan subsidies. The second, enacted March 18 and worth about $100 billion, had tax credits for employers offering paid sick leave, and increases to unemployment benefits and food assistance. The third package of roughly $2 trillion, completed Friday, includes checks to households, bailouts for airlines and other distressed industries, and loans and grants for small business.
