This doesn’t mean there will be no boost in benefits.

Why wouldn’t you agree?

1. Many people on unemployment are making more $$ being unemployed
- if you make more unemployed why would you go back to work and risk your health? You won’t

2. A flat $600 was silly to begin with. Does Akron Ohio cost as much as NYC? Does someone who made 100k a year have the same rent as someone making $30k a year?
-for it to make sense it needs to scale and adjust on locality to actually benefit people

Think about janitor A, an essential worker, risking their health likely not being paid more to do their job

Then janitor B whose school was shutdown so now they are safe at home, relaxing and got a 50% pay raise

The effects of this are very serious and need a well thought out action plan rather than firing from the hip

I like how the headline changes it from an expiring temporary benefit not being extended to a benefit being cut. Anything to play to their base, I guess. 🙄

Do something like Europe where it says 80% of your income and up to $600 additional per week.

Unemployment shouldn’t earn more than employment.

It is given only until August and with a chance to extended until December but will be based on state by state basis.

Yea government could provide medicare to those but would need to change the qualification and implement an specific plan for those unemployed. 1) it is easier to give the money to the people right away to mitigate ripple effects within the economy 2) they would have need to build that system in record time and 3) try getting that part through the republican senate which it would have been impossible. Hell they were raising hell bc of 4 month $600 per week. Imagine adding to something similar (lets say 80% of take home) plus medicare.

It wouldn’t have happened.

My roommate has no college degree, worked at a store as a packer, he is currently unemployed making more money than he ever has at his job. I’m glad he is getting paid and able to pay rent but I still work everyday 8-10hr days, without work he started to drink more ( case of 24 beers per day) and gets loud when he is drunk. I can not wait for him to go back to work.

I think UE in some states maxes out at like a $12/hourly payout equivalent. Sucks for those becoming unemployed who had higher earnings and have to then depend on $24k salary equivalent.

I agree with it going away after the current expanded UI benefit expires in July. The flat extra $600 was poor policy and a result of Congress' permanent inane desire to always be seen as *doing something*.

Given that employers submit employee comp to state UI offices to determine UI premiums, it should have been easy for Congress to make the expanded benefit up to $600 or the recipient's pre-layoff salary, whichever comes first, and then let the states handle it.

Wouldn't this be a lot harder to implement?

I agree with this. Gotta wean off the teat eventually or else no one is every going to want to go back to work.

I wish I could have gotten it. Applied in March, crickets from the Florida system -_- . Would have made life a lot easier with standard bills, rent, and just about everything is on a hiring freeze locally it seems. It’s going to get ugly as most people would prefer to work, but UE gives you more. Living in a big city with a huge hospitality/service industry means everyone is going to fight for $10 or less an hour jobs. Hello PhD degree and need to speak 3 languages to be a server/waiter/bartender

I never agreed with giving people more money to not work.
