The Congress stimulus deal includes $600 stimulus checks, a boost to unemployment insurance, and more small business aid.

At long last, Congress has reached a deal on a new coronavirus stimulus bill.

After eight months of back and forth, Democratic and Republican leaders announced on Sunday that they’ve arrived at an agreement on a roughly $900 billion plan. The House of Representatives will vote on the bill Monday, according to House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.

“We can finally report what our nation has needed to hear for a long time: More help is on the way,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell confirmed Sunday.

The legislation contains much-needed coronavirus relief including a weekly $300 enhancement in unemployment insurance,
