Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said that he supports another round of direct payments to individuals as part of the next CCP virus legislation and is working to get it passed by Congress by the end of this month.

“We do support another round of economic impact payments,” Mnuchin told reporters on Thursday. “As soon as the Senate gets back, we’re going to sit down on a bipartisan basis with the Republicans and the Democrats and it will be our priority that between the 20th and the end of the month, we’re going to pass the next legislation.”
