The latest on the
Coronavirus response
President Trump and
the White House Coronavirus Task Force announced additional actions
today as part of the ongoing, government-wide response to the
global pandemic:
- To help
American families and businesses, the Treasury
Department announced that Tax Day will be moved from April 15
to July 15. No interest or penalties will be charged for
filing during this extended window, but any American expecting
refunds or credits may claim now to get their money sooner.
- To minimize
impact on our nation’s students, the
Department of Education is temporarily waiving all interest on
federally held student loans. Secretary Betsy DeVos has also
directed federal lenders to allow borrowers to suspend their
student loan payments without penalty for at least the next 60
days.
- Early, decisive travel
restrictions helped slow the spread of
Coronavirus to our country. Today, Secretary of State Mike
Pompeo announced that the United States and Mexico have agreed
to restrict non-essential travel across their border.
- More help is
on the way. The Trump
Administration worked with Congress last week on a bipartisan
deal to deliver economic relief and support for American
families, which the President signed into law on Wednesday. More
legislative action is expected in the coming days.
