What’s the point of beating up on lower wage workers? Just feel lucky that you aren’t one of them. Empathy people! If you want to be mad at someone be mad at all the corporations getting welfare from huge tax breaks, etc or the 1% hoarding all the wealth.

1. no one is mad at low wage workers. How is saying give those unemployed (regardless of income) due to the pandemic federal contribution that would bring UE up to their normal income?

The OP is pointing out some very faulty logic in distribution of pandemic stimulus.
Yes there are several other issues with the stimulus bill people should take note of and discuss and a zillion other issues but this thread is specifically about some unemployed workers now receiving (or going to receive) double their normal salary to not work.

It would be too difficult to figure out what each person would earn individually including tips. The money would never get to people.

why is it difficult. Unemployment/IRS already know how much people make. They calculate the amount of UE based on their income/earnings. You telling me they can't solve for X. UE+Stimulus=Weekly take home pay.

Thats an excuse for laziness

FL needs to get with the program. Other states wave the look for work requirement and allow those self employed to also draw UE.

Yes, DeSantis and Scott. They created policies which make it practically impossible to receive any benefits you have paid for over the decades. My wife is in this situation right now.

I found a notice that said would waive the question - March 15 until May 2. I sent them the notice. They don’t want to lie on the form.

The unemployed seems harder - especially if just started and never filed before.
