Press Releases

Rep. Don Beyer today released a summary of financial assistance available to Northern Virginians in the National Capital Region amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The document explains direct payments, unemployment insurance, paid leave, provisions for federal workers and students, and other government support.

“The hardship caused by the COVID-19 pandemic is widespread, but there are resources and assistance available for many,” said Beyer. “This summary is intended to be a guide to forms of financial support offered by the federal and state government for workers and families. I helped enact or modify these programs in Congress, and continue to seek additional, sustained relief for Virginians to help them weather this difficult time. We are all in this together.”

The summary of financial assistance is available here. Beyer previously released similar summaries of housing resources and food assistance available to Northern Virginians.
