In a Thursday letter to President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the lawmakers said they are "appreciative" of the administration’s work to ensure that Americans receive another "survival" check as soon as possible. However, they believe that officials must take "additional unprecedented action" in the form of recurring cash payments in future economic relief plans. Such would "provide a longterm lifeline to struggling Americans for the duration of this deadly pandemic," they wrote, citing "worsening systemic inequities."
