House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is already looking for the next bill to address the impact of the coronavirus pandemic after Congress passed a $2 trillion package Friday to help American families.
Pelosi's comments echoed statements she made on the House floor Friday.
The $2 trillion bill package signed Friday has many glaring omissions that must be rectified, according to Pelosi, including expanding which workers qualify for unpaid, job-protected leave, free health care services for coronavirus patients and more funding for hospitals and health centers.
The House Speaker said that House Democrats will be working remotely as Congress works to address a "Recovery stage."
"I want to thank Democrats and Republicans for coming together, setting aside their differences, and putting America first," President Donald Trump said before signing the bill on Friday afternoon.
The CARES Act also provides for enhanced unemployment benefits for four months, matching 100 percent of workers' salaries prior to losing their jobs.
"Any portion of that loan used to maintain payroll, keep workers on the books or pay for rent, mortgage and existing debt could be forgiven, provided workers stay employed through the end of June," NPR reported.
