American Rescue Plan
On March 11 President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan into law. Just as he and Vice President Harris promised on the campaign trail, help is on the way for you and your family -- and soon, our country will be on the road to recovery.
Here is What’s in It
The COVID-19 vaccine will be provided at an accelerated pace. We've ordered enough doses of the vaccine for every American adult by May 31, and now we have the resources to get those shots in arms nationwide.
Stimulus checks will start hitting bank accounts in days. You can learn more about who qualifies for how much here. Many families will get $1,400 for each adult and each dependent — and, unlike past checks, older dependents like college students and disabled adults will qualify. This will also help businesses because millions will be able to pay their bills and shop again.
Provides tens of billions of dollars in rental and homeowners assistance that will benefit lower-income renters and homeowners to help keep roofs over their heads.
There’s a huge boost to child tax credits, too. Those payments won’t arrive until at least this summer, but you can learn more about what’s coming now.
This, combined with the stimulus, will lift millions out of poverty.Makes available $39 billion to reduce child care costs and increase the pay and benefits of child care workers.
Health insurance will be cheaper on the marketplace, including for people who don't usually get subsidies. That's big for Virginia, where premiums are sky-high.
Extended unemployment benefits will continue through August and the IRS is waiving taxes on some payments last year. As usual, there’s a lot of fine print, so here are some common questions.
Addresses the growing hunger crisis facing 29 million Americans -- and as many as 12 million children -- by asking the U.S. Department of Agriculture to expand and extend nutrition assistance programs to make sure no kid goes hungry.
There is billions of dollars of funding to help restaurants and other small businesses reopen and pay employees.
There is billions of dollars of funding to help local and state governments pay for essential services like fire and police.
There is billions of dollars of funding to provide the resources necessary to safely reopen schools
The bottom line is: We’re delivering real, tangible results for you and your family.
IF ANY OF THIS IS HELPFUL TO YOU THANK A DEMOCRAT!

Safety Precautions
The CDC and the Governor have recommended that all Virginians wear face masks if they need to go out in public. This was recommended to help mitigate the spread of this virus. For more information from the CDC about face masks, including how to make one yourself, use this link HERE.
If you feel that you may have contracted the virus, watch for symptoms such as:
- Shortness of breath
- High fever
- Persistent coughing
Medical officials across the globe have been advising everyone to take basic precautions to lower the risk of contracting and spreading the virus, such as:
- Washing your hands often, for at least 20 seconds each time
- Avoiding close contact with people (staying 6 or more feet apart)
- Avoiding contact with people who even have just slight symptoms of feeling ill
- Avoid touching your face with unwashed hands
- Stay at home as much as possible and practice social distancing
- Cover all of your coughs and sneezes with a tissue, or the inside of your elbow.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects daily
