House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday said she expects the next COVID-19 stimulus package to be signed into law before federal unemployment benefits programs expire.

In a news conference, Pelosi told reporters the $1.9 trillion bill might be approved in her chamber “by the end of February so we can send it to the president’s desk before unemployment benefits expire” on March 14.
