Even though Congress moved quickly to pass a financial relief package, the money in that package is not getting where it needs to be fast enough. The CARES Act became law on March 27, and very little of its relief has reached those who need it. Each day that passes translates to more hungry families, more homes lost, more prescriptions for essential medicines not filled, and more suffering for those who are struggling. As lawmakers begin discussing the CARES Act, Part 2, they need a much quicker way to distribute funds. The payroll processing system should be considered as a way to get money to people faster.
