economic relief
Help for hardship
Economic relief refers to financial assistance provided to individuals, businesses, or regions facing hardship—typically during recessions, natural disasters, or crises.
It encompasses government programs like stimulus payments, unemployment benefits, tax breaks, or debt forgiveness: Congress passed an economic relief package during the pandemic.
The term implies temporary support to ease acute financial strain rather than permanent policy.
