The act also includes several other tax- and economy-related measures intended to have a new stimulatory effect, mostly notably an extension of unemployment benefits and a one-year reduction in the FICA payroll tax, as part of a compromise agreement between Obama and Congressional Republicans.
UU ini mencakup pula sejumlah tindakan terkait pajak dan ekonomi demi menciptakan efek stimulasi baru, terutama perpanjangan tunjangan pengangguran dan pengurangan pajak gaji FICA selama satu tahun, sebagai bagian dari persetujuan antara Obama dan fraksi Republik di Kongres.
