I did every home improvement job I could fine, cycled back into the economy

Excellent choice...

[Engedi]

OOPs it’s 362.00.

[Sacajaweau]

Thanks for the clarification.

[CatOwner]

Adding: it would save money to quit. No gas, no hassle, no job stress...

No health insurance ...

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

OMG look at RI, and OH ridiculous !!!! Another $300.00 on top of that is more than $1000.00 a week to NOT WORK!!

[Fightin Whitey]

Wonder where to go to sign up for goodies.

No kidding. Pass the word if you find out.

The problem isn’t the money, it is the labor. This world can’t move forward if none wants to work regardless of income. I say give employed people $200/month. At least there will be incentive to work.
Uber drivers, waiters and cooks are impossible to find.

I’ve heard in some areas the UE offices don’t answer phones.

some ppl report calling several times a day for days in a row and get no answer.

Hopefully being able to get trough online works.

$700 + Normal Unemployment (between $300 to $500+) a week? Why?

[PIF]

Regular UE (the boss says he has no work for you) is still the same amount. COVID UE applies only to people whose job is gone (like waiters because the restaurant is shut) - they get the extra bit.

$700 + Normal Unemployment (between $300 to $500+) a week? Why?

That's supposedly $700 including local unemployment. I don't know too many states where the average weekly unemployment payment is $400.

[PIF]

Wisconsin is at least $390 wk, but after 8 weeks you have to do a documented job search and submit it before the check is sent

[funfan]

I think it depends what your income was but the 385.00 is the maximum so it could be under 385.00.

[madison10]

True, for many. Thankfully not a problem for myself.

[gcparent]

If you quit no unemployment. If no income you can apply for Medicaid.

Everyone needs to keep in mind that the self employed who had to close or the 1099 people are only getting a portion of that. Example in Virginia, self employed get $158/week and if you make $158 that week trying to work odd jobs or even limited business, you lose that $158 amount AND the extra government money.

you lose that $158 amount AND the extra government money.

Why work ?

[novemberslady]

In New Jersey many self-employed are being paid 208.00 after taxes for regular ui.
Something to do with the way the dept of labor figured out base weeks for their benefit.

[novemberslady]

After you said the unemployed would be receiving an extended benefit of $400.00, I saw kudlow say today that they would be receiving $300.00.

I'm really hoping kudlow mispoke.
