President Joe Biden has announced that individuals affected by the California wildfires will receive a one-time payment of $770. This decision comes as the administration aims to provide immediate relief to those impacted by the fires. The announcement was made during a press call where Biden emphasized the one-time nature of the payment. This comes in contrast to the $500 million in funding sent to Ukraine the previous week.
