President-elect Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief plan is designed to both pump money into the economy and contain the coronavirus pandemic.

The plan includes a wave of new spending, including more direct payments to households, an expansion of jobless benefits, more money for state and local governments and an expansion of vaccinations and virus-testing programs. The proposal also calls for a $15 federal minimum wage and more eviction protections.
