It's true that the average minimum wage worker will likely receive more money though employment than they earned working.
Keep in mind the the extra $600.00 is only through July 31st (12 weeks) then the worker are back to normally unemployment. Also I read unemployment has been extended to 36 weeks. One last thought. The $600.00 is partly meant to help stimulate the economy. If people have a little extra to spend they spend it, which is good for all of us. We need to keep businesses open and people employed when this is over. |

The monetary help people are getting will go to corporations to pay for mortgages, auto-loans, groceries, healthcare, etc. No one will be buying frivolous junk. The corporations will also be getting monetary help, even those that paid no taxes last year. In the end, corporations will end up with it all. Jut sayin'.

The way i understand it is, you may recieve an extra $600 a week up to but not beyond what your weekly salary would be. For example if your weekly salary $700 and your unemployment benefit is $300 you will only receive an extra $400 to make up the difference for lost wages, if tour salary is $1500 a week and your unemployment benefit is $700 you would receive the whole $600.

I am in this healthcare boat, too, different job tho, not much above minimum wage. Cut hours, can use PTO if you have it, if not, no unemployment, no pay...……...ugh. It is a field I chose, love my patients and my job. Just, at the moment, it doesn't feel too good. This too shall pass and we will come out of it on the other side OK, I hope. We are not alone, so many of us in the same position.

The state of FL pays the lowest rate of unemployment in the country. Why aren't people complaining about that? In times like this that extra $600 will be poured back into the economy not go to Boeing stock buybacks.

The $600 weekly addition is for EXACTLY 4 months ONLY. Unemployment is taxable at Federal level (unlike the stimulus most will be receiving) but may or may not be taxable at state level. Due to incredible number of online applications and old systems, it can take hours, and sometimes not working at all to apply. Most systems are so slow and crash so often that those out of work have had trouble even entering their case. They all deserve the $600 for 4 months. |

If you remember "Andrew Yang for president" he advocated $1,000 for everyone arguing most of it will go right back to the economy. I bet those $600 will also go right back to our economy as well, not to APPLE stock.

There is no state income tax in Florida so no, it wouldn't be taxable on a state level here. The Florida unemployment system is encountering problems because it was designed intentionally to fail. The point of it being horrendous was to keep the unemployment numbers artificially low. You can say "see, Florida unemployment rate is very low!" because it's nearly impossible to file for it in the first place, so thousands of qualifying unemployed Floridians don't ever get to successfully file a claim. Max Connecticut unemployment rate was $649/week, last year, and Connecticut had a 26-week benefit period. I had no idea this wasn't standard nationally. |

I think the worker you spoke to in TV was a STORYTELLER. $275 a week for UI in Florida? Shameful! Give 'em the extra $600 a week till things straighten out. Better than having a family without the breadwinner. They could use a good night sleep and having a couple extra bucks is righteous. To everybody aghast with their $1200, pennies from heaven, if you don't want it. Rock the world of the guy or gal who loads your car with groceries. Do something out of this world with it for someone in need. |
