President Biden delivered remarks and signed two executive orders, one of which would increase federal food assistance and streamline the delivery of stimulus checks, as the president attempts to stabilize the economy without congressional assistance amid the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic. In the first order, Mr. Biden asks the U.S. Department of Agriculture to allow states to increase Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits — commonly known as food stamps — by 15%. Mr. Biden's order also aims to streamline the delivery of stimulus checks for those who have not yet received their direct payments. The president also issued a second executive order to improve collecting bargaining power and protections for federal workers, and direct the Office of Personnel Management to develop recommendations to increase the minimum wage for federal employees to $15 per hour. #CoronavirusRelief #PresidentBiden #ExecutiveOrders CBSN is CBS News’ 24/7 digital streaming news service featuring live, anchored coverage available for free across all platforms.
