Unemployment benefits, the eviction moratorium, and many other COVID programs are set to expire at the end of December. At the same time, the number of people struggling to put food on their tables has skyrocketed, millions of people remain unemployed, and the virus continues to spread at an astonishing rate.

The consequences of inaction are severe. Lawmakers must not leave for the end of the year without passing a COVID relief bill that:

• Increases Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP)
• Extends the enhanced unemployment benefits
• Provides emergency rental assistance
• Includes state fiscal relief
• Expands the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax Credit so families can cover basic household expenses
• Includes international humanitarian assistance

Congressional negotiators from both parties have signaled a desire to get a deal done in the next week or two. Tell your members to take action and give the American people the relief they need.
