Why would any state contribute when $300 is free and there is no requirement for paying more?
I would have offered this as the federal payment of $300 only occurs if the state pays $100 and no other option was available. It would have made states pony up money to show they cared and were responsible for getting people off unemployment.
Now, lets just keep them on unemployment, because unemployment is paid by employers and employees and we get an extra $300 from Uncle Sam.
I’m pretty sure everyone here would be going ape**** if Obama did the same thing.
That said, I approve of the EO.
Here in California at least a million unemployed workers still haven’t received a penny of their benefits for the past five months due to an incompetent state unemployment department using obsolete computers and broken phone systems. I would imagine this new extension would be beyond their ability to implement, which means continued suffering for a whole lot of people.
Aren’t unemployment benefits, state-based? Why should the Feral government have anything to do with it?
I am staying to hell away from that. I could collect being part time and semi retired, but then comes income tax season...
We paid our income taxes this year at the time they were due. I dont trust the IRS or any government agency.
Would be nice to have a notation put along side of it all though stating we paid them on time. But instead we will get an audit for being so prompt I suppose.
