Details of U.S. government financial assistance to its citizens became known

Details of U.S. government financial assistance to American citizens and businesses became known. About it today, April 22, reports Vesti FM with reference to blogger Vera Shetova. We remind that the U.S. authorities have announced their intention to implement an unprecedented program of financial assistance to American citizens and businesses in the context of the pandemic. US President Donald Trump has announced that the United States will spend $2 trillion to help its citizens and businesses. Of these funds, some will go directly to financial assistance to the population. Only taxpayers with registered income of less than $99,000 a year will receive these payments. Of these, adults are $1,200, citizens under 17 are $500. However, in most states, this financial assistance has not even begun to be distributed. Local American media reports that most are likely to start receiving these payments in the form of checks only in the summer, and maybe later. There are many problems with the registration and verification of citizens, sometimes payments are assigned to already deceased people, and relatives do not know what to do with it. Also questions arise in housewives who have no income. Among other things, there are those in the US who do not register their income so that it is not taxed, although in the US this is actively fought. Also in the American segment of social media, many citizens complain that $1,200 is quite small. In some states, housing costs, utilities services, products and health insurance are significantly greater than $1,200. Other targeted assistance is a delay on educational loans until at least September 30. This is quite a substantial help, as education in the United States is paid and quite expensive. Education funds for their child are sometimes saved by parents before they are born. And many young Americans, whose parents do not have money, take educational loans, which are repaid after obtaining a diploma. Another measure is unemployment supplements. That's an extra $600 a week for four months. It is worth noting that standard amounts range from $200 to $550; Depending on the state. This is all about targeted assistance to citizens. $500 billion is allocated for concessional loans to companies. Of these, $25 billion to air carriers, $4 billion to cargo air carriers, $17 billion to national security enterprises. The remaining $454 billion for loans to businesses, states and municipalities. At the same time, those companies that receive these preferential loans undertake not to pay dividends until they pay the loan, and must retain 90% of the employees. Loans are allocated for a maximum of five years. The supervisory bodies will closely monitor what the state-allocated money will be spent on. But also with loans to companies came out some shortcomings. It turned out that some large companies, restaurant chains tried to get these loans, although the authorities clearly said that these loans are owed only to small and medium-sized businesses. Those companies that illegally received loans from the state will be forced to return them.
