116th Congress -- Introduced by Rep. Nita Lowey (D-NY) -- legislation responds to the COVID-19 outbreak and its impact on the economy, public health, state and local governments, individuals, and businesses. In part, the legislation would provide $25 billion in emergency appropriations to the U.S. Postal Service. In addition, the bill would eliminate the Treasury Department conditions related to the loan made available in H.R. 748 (signed into law), authorize up to $10,000 in pandemic pay for frontline public and private (including postal supervisors and postmasters), and expand vote-by-mail.
