In the coming weeks, we will be sending out our thoughts on the CARES Act. In the meantime, the following video is a quick overview:

Additionally, here’s a simple breakdown:

• $510 billion – Loans to distressed businesses, cities and states.
  • $29 billion for airlines
  • $17 billion for firms deemed important for national security
  • $454 billion as backstop for loans to other businesses, cities and states
• $290 billion – One-time stimulus checks amounting to $1,200 per adult and $500 per child up to certain income limits
• $260 billion – Expanded and extended unemployment benefits (including contractors), adding $600 per week for 4 months
• $377 billion – Small business relief, largely in the form of “forgivable loans” for spending on payroll, rent and utilities
• $150 billion – Direct aid to state and municipal governments
• $180 billion – Health-related spending and public services
• $516 billion – Other spending and tax breaks
