American Rescue Plan Act

March 6, 2021 | H.R. 1319

The American Rescue Plan provides $1.9 trillion to help working people recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Most of us are familiar with the direct emergency relief payments of up to $1400 per person that were included in the bill. But that’s just one way that it will help CWA members, retirees and our families. The bill also contains funding to keep workers safe, protect jobs, help workers who’ve faced furloughs or layoffs due to the pandemic, and stabilize the pensions we’ve earned.

This is Good for working people.
