Biden COVID-19 relief bill includes $1,400 checks, $300 weekly jobless benefits, child allowance of up to $3,600 for one year, $125 billion for K-12 schools, $30 billion for public transit, $25 billion for rental assistance, and $14 billion for vaccine distribution.

Biden will not sign his name on the stimulus checks set to be distributed this month as part of his $1.9 trillion COVID relief package — reversing a precedent set by former President Trump in the first two rounds of relief checks.
