Referred to the Subcommittee on Health.
The EASE Act of 2024, also known as Bill 118 hr 7149, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to provide relief to American families and individuals who are struggling financially due to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

One of the key provisions of the EASE Act is the establishment of a new stimulus payment program that would provide direct financial assistance to eligible individuals and families. This program would be similar to the stimulus payments that were distributed in previous years, but would be tailored specifically to address the ongoing economic challenges facing many Americans.

In addition to the stimulus payment program, the EASE Act also includes provisions aimed at providing support to small businesses and essential workers who have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic. This includes funding for small business grants, loans, and other forms of financial assistance to help these businesses stay afloat during these difficult times. Overall, the EASE Act of 2024 is a comprehensive piece of legislation that seeks to provide much-needed relief to American families and individuals who are struggling as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. If passed, this bill has the potential to make a significant impact on the lives of millions of Americans and help to stimulate the economy as the country continues to recover from the effects of the pandemic.
