The Senate Republican-proposed HEALS Act introduced on Monday will include another $1,200 stimulus check to those who are eligible.

The $1 trillion bill includes an extra $200 per week in unemployment, said Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), which is a sum that is down from $600 per week in the earlier CARES Act. More money for schools and liability protections for hospitals and businesses are also included in the measure.
