I'm going to sleep. Good night, everyone!
I see several posts from people asking how they can help during these times with a few extra $$$ to spend. Here is just one of many ideas.

#stepuptothetable is about helping local restaurants who are struggling during these times. I have seen numerous linkedin posts with videos where people challenge each other to step up to the table & buy meals & gift cards from their community restaurants. A great way for those of us who are more fortunate to support business & keep people employed.

My husband got laid off, he gets around $400 from CA UI and $600 FED stimulus per week.
He applied for UI in March and got his payments 2 weeks after application
Chief
No he automatically got it. Just did the usual application for CA UI
The extra $600 doesn’t show up because it’s not part of your account balance, it’s just automatically included with each week of payment. In two weeks when you certify that you’ve been looking for work you’ll see it show up alongside the $400 a week.
In TX the $600 is automatically included once you are approved for regular benefits. Sorry I don't know how CA is handling, but surely they're at least as efficient as Texas.
We’ll See. Thank you!
Also: I’ve tried calling several times but can’t get through to a real person at the CA dept.
thanks in advance for any advice!
I work for a CA State Agency and from what I they told us in emails is that state workers who can’t work from home who are being reassigned to handle unemployment calls. So I would keep trying, I assume they are training the repurposed workers at the moment and it will be easier to get through soon.
