Anyone here collected Pandemic Unemployment due to being laid off from Covid19?
Im lucky I still work and didn't get laid off, but I feel bad for people who got laid off
PUA or Pandemic Unemployment Assistance was passed a few months ago and allows even gig works and self employed to collect a weekly check if they were laid off or are hindered from making ends me due to the coronavirus.
Different states have different rates, I think in California the minimum is $167 and the maximum is $450 in unemployment checks a week, they added a $600 bonus weekly check on top of that until end of July, but the house wants to extend it, the GOP is out of touch in this scenario because those millions of people are not going to be able to get a job by August thats unrealistic, many of the reasons and main reasons they got laid off is because Businesses they worked for closed down so even if the job market opens back up many of these people will be competing for other people to get these entry level jobs and many will still be laid off for a few months.
I was wondering what your guys opinion is of this. Do you think they should extend the bonus 600 checks for unemployed until January.

Nah you're crazy. They can take regular unemployment, not the additional $600.

I am sure they will extend benefits, simply because people are easier to manipulate after living on government hand outs. Why apply yourself when everything is free?

That doesn't even pay for a studio apartment.
So you're basically saying someone who became unemployed because of the pandemic, should simply be ****ed into homelessness.

I know many blue collar republicans who been laid off and won't be able to survive.

I was lucky I still have a job, and will work fulltime again soon. But I seen the devastation this shutdown has caused. Businesses went under people gotta understand thats the reality its not going to be easy to get a job in one month, the GOP is out of touch again and it makes them look bad if they don't extend the assistance. A lot of the workers who been laid off are the blue collar conservatives too. This isn't a partisan both democrat and republican voters have been laid off.

280$ a week for unemployment isn't what you get if you make minimum wage, it's the fuking cap. It doesn't matter if you were making 15k a year or 150k a year, you are not going to make more than 280$ a week from unemployment.
So you're saying I should have to move my wife and child into a single bedroom somewhere, ditch my house, my car, everything I can easily afford right now, all because the Government decided I couldn't work my job for months? And that's ****ing reasonable to you? You're comfortable with the government just fuking your entire life up on a whim?

My neighbor she is screwed, she is an independent contractor and made 45k last year she worked for a private owned tutor service for special ed kids, and got laid off. She is only get 167 a week some mix up in her paperwork and she still hasn't been able to get ahold of EDD for the last 4 weeks to correct it. She is making less on pandemic assistance. Some people think this is some freeloaders, this is temp to assist people during this Coronavirus and its still taxable income.

I wonder if they are picturing minorities freeloading, it seems to be the case, they dont realize many of those laid off are blue collar workers who likely support Trump

I got it like a champ. Wouldn't think in a million years I would need to be on unemployment (since I own the business lol). But it helped while we were shut down completely and dammit I've paid into it for years so no qualms taking it. Also got PPP so another 22k forgiven on top of it (or after it if I'm being specific).

I’ve been collecting unemployment but I don’t get an “extra” $600 a week I just get $600 week. Not complaining though it’s helped me stay alive.
