December 2020 Covid-19 Federal Relief Provisions

January 8, 2021
On December 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Covid-19 relief package that Congress passed on December 21, 2020.  Although it appeared in the immediate aftermath of the bill becoming law that some of its provisions, namely those concerning economic stimulus payments, would be amended by subsequent legislation, it seems highly likely at this point that additional relief is unlikely until President-Elect Joe Biden takes office on January 20, 2021.  The election of two Democratic Senators from Georgia, giving Democrats a de facto majority in the Senate, makes it more likely that additional relief packages may ultimately become law.
