Does this expand relief for self-employed/freelancers? As far as I can tell as-is, my state has no form of unemployment for someone like me who lost every job within 24 hours for the foreseeable future. Hopefully that's what they're referring to with 'expanded eligibility'.
Already doing so semi-regularly (my default is to eat lunch out at work 3 or so times a week anyway because I'm too lazy to pack a lunch). Getting a little annoyed at how many of the drivers are ignoring the leave at door requests though, including from services where that's supposed to be the default now...
I don't mean at the moment, ha ha, for all the reasons you mention. Once things start to open up again, whether that's a month, 2 months, 6 months, whatever. We already have some ideas about what we want but were leaning towards waiting another year or so until her current car is paid off (the Trade-In would more than cover what she still owes, just wanted to put it off possibly until we were a little further into our other car payment)
Report them. Now is not the time to be dicking around and not following safety instructions.
Seeing that the bill suspends student loan payments through 9/30 (starting grad school in August so woo hoo suspending payments for 2 years haha) but is there anything we know of yet about the 10k payment toward our loans? I know its still early but some additional details seem to be coming out now.
Jesus Christ, these people are insane. Isnt there a limit on how long that extra Unemployment bump lasts?
Yes. It's an asinine objection on part of Scott/Graham/Sasse.
Yeah, 4 months, during a time where Coronavirus lockdown can last almost 9 months or more. Somehow unemployment is the thing that will destroy us as a society....
Mitch McConnell has to pick something up for the senate to even vote on it. Pelosi can't just put something on the senate floor.
Fair enough...May not get money to people, but shows that Dems are ready to do something and throw out decorum, and waiting to act.
I guess I was just dreaming then! Oh well maybe one day
This pig fucker doesn't even know how unemployment works!! It's not "forever" and you have to file, and employers can challenge it. You can't just be a shit employee and then get unemployment when you get fired. That's how out of touch this rich fuck is.
I can't say what I really feel without a ban. Fuck him.

This fucking bill tho

Fine Print of Stimulus Bill Contains Special Deals for Industries (Published 2020)
Small banks, retailers and for-profit colleges got provisions they wanted. So did Boeing. Among those who could potentially benefit: President Trump’s company.
4 months of a bit more unemployment money blows way past Easter
So how many of Trump's tiny fat fucking fingers are in this one?

Yes, it's about unanimous consent. If one objects, then it goes through the markup process, and takes a lot more time.

Of fucking course that's in there...
Employers aren't really denying claims right now. OP hit the nail on the issue they're trying to get at:
If the $600 added benefit puts the worker above their normal wages, then it benefits both the employee because of more money in the pocket and the employer because they don't have all the additional payroll costs not typically seen by the employee.
I see thanks. Well, I hope we get what we want ASAP because people are suffering.
Lindsey Graham is about the most disingenuous prick in the senate. Yeah, it might make people that slave away at minimum wage realize what a fucking con job that salary is. He doesn't give a shit about anything other than the potential awakening to how the shitty minimum wage is.
BTW, this part makes me think there might be an alternate way to apply:
Well, the last time I did taxes was on 2018 for my 2017 income (which was like 5k). No worries, though, I'm student so I know I can just fuck off.
thanks, but ah shit, well looks like I am out then, Im about right above that threshold. Even though I live paycheck to paycheck as a contractor, have a tiny house, several kids, no benefits, haven't had a vacation in years(and those were just a weekend a few hours away) And really dont have spend any money on anything frivolous. Metro areas are expensive. And my hours are already being reduced, and will be nothing probably in a week or so.
yeah i thought i read last night that there's language in the bill saying members of congress (and their family members) can't benefit from this bailout
You'll get more from unemployment than you would from the check.
Last time I checked years ago, I thought contractors dont get unemployment since they are project based or whatever and you weren't technically laid off.
Uber and Lyft getting away scot-free, will not help their de facto employees one bit and lobbied hard for the, to be included in the bill. We all end up subsidizing these companies.
ah nice, good catch, I recall reading that in previous bills so cool if it stays in.
