West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice said Monday he appreciates Congress reached an agreement on a second federal COVID-19 relief bill but expressed disappointment that it could have done more for individuals and businesses.
The package, signed by President Donald Trump on Sunday night, included $319 billion for small business grants and loans, including $284 billion in forgivable Paycheck Protection Program loans. It also included an additional $300 a week in federal unemployment benefits for 11 weeks and direct payments of $600 to adults that make less than $75,000 a year, including an additional $600 per child.
