Sanders calls for $2,000 monthly payments, suspending some bills amid pandemic
By Jordain Carney - 04/03/20 02:45 PM EDT

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Friday outlined wide-ranging priorities for a fourth coronavirus relief package as lawmakers begin to discuss new legislation amid the pandemic.

Sanders, in a list released by his presidential campaign, is calling for a future coronavirus bill to include a $2,000 monthly "emergency payment" to every person in the country "until the crisis has passed."

"We must provide direct, recurring, monthly payments to every person in the country, regardless of income, tax filing, or immigration status. That means reaching every person in the United States, including the undocumented, the homeless, the unbanked, and young adults excluded from the CARES ACT," Sanders added in a post on his campaign website.

The third coronavirus bill, passed late last week, provided a one-time check of $1,200 to individuals making up to $75,000. The amount of assistance scales down until the gross adjusted annual income hits $99,000, where it would be phased out altogether. It also provided an additional $500 per child.
