"The Fourth District is home for thousands of brave Michigan residents who served our country and they should receive their payments as quickly as possible to help them and their families during this difficult time for our country. These payments are critical support for all Michigan families right now and millions of residents will receive them in the weeks ahead."

“Michigan farmers are doing an incredible job maintaining the food supply during this pandemic. However, from my conversations with them, I also know they are experiencing financial losses caused by falling demand from restaurants, schools, and businesses. The federal support announced today by President Trump will help them continue their critical operations and also bring much-needed meals to the food banks and community organizations helping Michigan residents through this extraordinary crisis.”

“The Paycheck Protection Program is saving the jobs and paychecks of Michigan workers and helping small businesses,” said Congressman John Moolenaar. “Now is the time to pass more funding for this program and prevent layoffs like the 219,000 that happened in Michigan last week. I hope Democrats will stop trying to add unrelated items to a new bill and immediately agree to new funding so more Michigan workers will keep their jobs and receive their paychecks instead of being sent to the state’s overwhelmed unemployment system.”

"While the focus is on staying home and staying safe, we know that whenever we can get back to normal, Michigan families will want a convenient way to visit friends and family," said Congressman John Moolenaar. "This funding will help these airports be safe, clean, and ready to serve passengers when the public health crisis has subsided."

"This site will provide a way for those who do not normally file taxes or receive Social Security benefits to sign up and make sure they receive their $1,200 as quickly as possible. This is a difficult time for many Michigan residents and I know this payment will help make it a little easier for them."

"This funding will help Michigan hospitals who have been hit hard by the pandemic. It's also vital support for our rural hospitals who need this extra assistance to care for Coronavirus patients, as well as the daily health needs of the communities they serve."

"This funding gives Michigan colleges additional resources to provide educational opportunities in a safe learning environment, and it will help students pursue their degrees while studying remotely."

“Right now, millions of Michigan residents are looking forward to when we can once again enjoy the Great Lakes with our friends and family. This new funding will go towards invasive species control, restoring habitats and protecting the Great Lakes for all of us. That’s why I worked in Congress on the House Appropriations Committee to support the GLRI and get this funding for Michigan."
