$1.9 Trillion COVID-19 Federal Relief Package – American Rescue Plan Act
Today, President Biden signed into law a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package, the American Rescue Plan of 2021, aimed to provide financial relief to Americans and incentives to stimulate the economy as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The latest package is expansive in scope, including spending for federal unemployment benefits, state and local aid, provisions for school reopenings, tax credits for employers and families, another round of direct payment for Americans and an expansion of vaccinations and virus-testing programs. This relief package may be the last package to focus on immediate financial relief provisions. Subsequent packages will be long-term and aimed toward economic recovery and rebuilding infrastructure.

DES MOINES, Iowa- The Iowa Utilities Board is requiring power companies to file plans for recovering costs from February s severe weather.
The cold snap last month disrupted energy production and led to a major spike in natural gas and electric costs.
The Utilities Board says it ll approve the companies plans in time for them to increase rates next month.
MidAmerican Energy has announced its residential customers will see an 18 percent increase in natural gas bills for the rest of the year.
The Utilities Board is also requiring that the power companies responses to high bill increases will be communicated to customers, and is recommending that customers reach out directly to the companies for up-to-date information.
