Reported by USA Today, Oregon Rep. Ron Wyden was responsible for chopping that weekly benefit from $400/week to $300/week.

They touted the benefits as being 'nontaxable to filers reporting under $150k', but ignored BOTH some states' taxation (such as my state of Oregon, which taxes the $300/week) AND the fact that refiling to take advantage of the tax break recalculates benefits on actual 'income'...which for most people will be ZERO.

I fully expect the soon-to-be-rising crescendo of pissed off democrats not getting their payola to be used as the cudgel to push through yet another 'relief' bill to funnel even more money into the pockets of masking/lockdown/'vaccine' cheerleaders' pockets.

Fair warning for FReepers who are the unfortunate victims of this fake 'virus crisis' and dependent upon soon-disappearing benefits.

They weren’t screwed by the relief bill. They were screwed by the Chicoms and the pornfear karens who caused them to lose their jobs.

I should be so unlucky as to get $300/week for doing nothing.

My daughter knows of a girl, 18, who claimed she made $50k in a 4 month period (she prob made like $6k) and NY state sent her a $6k check right away + like $800/wk thereafter. Are they even keeping up with these fraudsters at all?
