Act
December 22, 2020

WASHINGTON – Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin issued the following statement on passage of
the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act as part of the
Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021:
“I am pleased that the United States Senate and House of Representatives have passed on
an overwhelmingly bipartisan basis the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental
Appropriations Act, as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021. I want to thank
President Trump for his leadership and Leader McConnell, Leader Schumer, Speaker Pelosi
and Leader McCarthy for working with the Administration to provide critical additional
economic relief for American workers, families, and businesses that, through no fault of their
own, have been adversely impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
“This bipartisan legislation will provide another round of Economic Impact Payments to
eligible individuals and families, renew the Paycheck Protection Program to support small
businesses and their employees, ensure needed access to unemployment benefits for
Americans who have lost their jobs due to COVID-19, and provide additional funding for
schools, vaccine distribution, and other important sectors of the economy.
“We are fully committed to ensuring that hardworking Americans get this vital support as
quickly as possible and to further strengthening our economic recovery.”
