US Unemployment Insurance Replacement Rates During the Pandemic

IMO this was deliberate by democrats, overcompensating their constituents for the shutdowns to normalize not working but still being looked after. Now, ending the 'temporary' extra welfare is 'impoverishing people and jeopardizing their health', and the door is wide open for their representatives to demand formerly radical policies like UBI.
The $600 extra was by design by the DEMs ($15/hr times 40 hours), and the Republicans and Trump went along with it.
Only a liberal would think in those terms and only a liberal news service would peddle such a dead end approach to life.

The neo-Bsheviks in DC and ‘Rat run states aee chortling.
Actual virtues like ambition and self-improvement having been beaten out of people in public schools ...
The 'U' is supposed to mean universal, i.e. everyone gets the same amount to do with as they please no questions asked.
What will happen over time is that the Dems will require tax forms so they only give the UBI to those who earn below a certain amount or have below a certain amount of 'wealth', e.g. stocks, bonds, etc.
Then they will put all sorts of constraints on it which will be poorly enforced but still annoying.
Then they will do a bad job at deciding who gets the UBI. Dead people will be getting some. Others will be double or triple dipping. Nigerians will get their share, etc.
Oh and don't forget that UBI must go to illegals ...er… undocumented folks as well.
It's not a cut in "pay" - it's an employment benefit.
You have to go back to work. If it means wearing full PPE, you have to go back. Or leave that job and get a job that you feel safer. But the Federal government is not obligated to provide you with *more* money than you were making.
Did you mean neo-Bolsheviks or neo-Bitchsheviks?
“”””””In many cases, workers who turn down a job offer from their old employer may lose their eligibility to collect unemployment insurance. “”””””””””
This. If your employer calls you back or if you have an opportunity to get a job similar to the one you had and you decline it so you can collect unemployment then your benefits can be denied.
It is UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE not welfare.
I guessed we have a whole nation of bipartisan a**holes who never heard of the concept of delay of gratification. Suck it up now and let nature take the hindmost... until its me (whine).
I don’t see government workers on that chart. Because, they got full pay and benefits, whether or not they worked!
Almost like a plan, huh?
I remember a few years ago reading a list of white cultural practices in some racial diatribe. Future-oriented behavior was one of them.
Can’t wait to see what the lawyers will have to say about “forced” employment. Another of the many roadblocks getting out of the rabbit hole.
Funny how many (like Cocaine Mitch) are furious over Americans getting $600 a week, but yet never had a problem with Bush and Obama blowing $6 trillion on endless, stupid wars.
Neo-Bolsheviks
Unemployment law has been clear about the subject for years.
Not that the law makes any difference these days.
This plays into the RATs hands by keeping people on the dole. It will also keep the economy slowed down because you have more people on the cart rather than pulling it. Of course the states with the most generous hand-outs are going to plead for federal bail-outs further suppressing the economy if they get it.
In general, I agree. But with respect to COVID-19, lawyers everywhere (along with the DEMs) are going to muddy up the definition of being required to work.
