GovExec Daily: How the Treasury Department Will Distribute Stimulus Money
Courtney Bublé and Katherine McIntire Peters join the podcast to discuss the logistics of getting money to millions of Americans with a staff who is largely working from home.

Courtney Bublé and Katherine McIntire Peters joined the podcast to discuss how the 2008 stimulus checks were sent, how the 2020 ones will be sent and how Treasury will handle this task.
