$600 total since April? In Canada we've gotten $17200 total and we can still earn up to 50% of our last years wage on top of that.

Actually, the US government has given me a little over $20,000 since march in unemployment benefits and other grants that I’m not required to pay back.

it was incredibly easy to apply and receive this money as well.

Don’t let people whine about the $600... If they weren’t working to begin with, $600 is a lot more than $0 that they WERE making previously.

EDIT: Not that you can easily live off 20k for a year, but people crying about “$600 since April” are just being melodramatic, or they didn’t take advantage of the programs put in place to help.

Ok that makes me feel better. News clips seem like Americans are losing their homes and lining up for hours at food banks.

I lost almost 2 full months of wages. Michigan system was bullshit. Id call and system was down and certify online every week.. but stopped getting paid out.. that was beginning of June. Thats a decent bit of income.. Luckily I had enough saved and found something else to do. All good now but if I had no other options like some people are stuck with. No car, no skills only thing they know is shut in their tiny towns... it would for sure hurt. Luckily you had a good experience but obviously not everyone has had that experience.

You lost it? No retro active? I had to get threw the first few months with nothing coming in. But then once everything started to settle down we got retro active checks for the missed weeks. Back in late January I had a feeling something was going to happen and sold one of my welders so I could have cash on hand just in case you couldn't get to money in the bank.

Ya its also on me for not pushing harder. They made it too much of a pain in the ass. Also don't need it too bad so I'm not ready to war over the phone with some person that already hates life

Have you tried the programs that Meta was talking about? If the government is giving out free money, no shame in taking it.
