As of Oct. 6, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has paid out an additional nearly $2 billion in government payments as part of its second tranche of the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP 2).
While speaking at an event in Pennsylvania on Friday, Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said USDA is getting aggressive in filling the applications, which began on Sept. 21 and run through December. “Checks are out the door,” Perdue said.
