Another much-needed round of money is in store for Long Islanders and businesses hit hard by the pandemic.

President Donald Trump signed the $900 billion pandemic relief package late Sunday.

The president refused to sign the bill last week because he was pushing for $2,000 payments for Americans making less than $75,000 a year.

Trump spoke of his frustrations with the COVID-19 relief for including only $600 checks to most Americans instead of the $2,000 that his fellow Republicans rejected.

People who were losing their unemployment benefits will now receive benefits for another 11 weeks. Another $300 a week will be given to those collecting jobless payments through mid-March.

The Paycheck Protection Program also helps small businesses with 300 employees or less. The businesses must show that their revenue was impacted by the pandemic.

"It's certainly not enough to make an appreciable difference in the lives of people who are hurting substantially, but it is something and we're grateful that we are able to count on some relief to our region," says President and CEO of the Health and Welfare Council of Long Island Rebecca Sanin.

Huntington's Main Street Board Game Cafe took advantage the first time and was able to pay workers and bills. The cafe says the second round of help is critical.

"At what point can you see things going back to the way it was? Can your business last that long? I don't see how any small business can look ahead and say they can last long and not do something damaging to my business without this," says Neil Goldberg, of Main Street Board Game Cafe.

The package also includes $1 billion for schools and rental assistance. In addition, the bill helps avoid a government shutdown and includes funding for vaccines and more testing for COVID-19.

The House voted Monday night in favor of larger $2,000 pandemic relief checks. That initiative is expected to die in the Republican-controlled Senate.

The government funding portion of the bill keeps federal agencies nationwide running without dramatic changes until Sept. 30.
