WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman Hank Johnson (GA-04) returned to Washington this week to vote on a stand-alone bill to increase economic impact payments to $2,000 for Americans struggling during the pandemic.
The bill passed the House 275-134 and now goes to the Senate.
"There's a light at the end of the tunnel, but until we get there Americans struggling to pay rent, put food on the table and stay healthy need our help," said Rep. Johnson. "This money will go a long way in helping make people whole during this difficult time."

The bill passed the House of Representatives in 2010 but stalled in the Senate.
