re: $800 a week if you are laid off?

“Theoretically you could receive a check for 600 dollars plus the amount that the state would normally put in which I understand is about 200 to 250 dollars,” Kennedy said.

I’m still working and will continue to work as I’m management IT for a large medical facility. My job actually got more needed with the adoption of TeleHealth.

I do know that keeping our employees will be a huge issue now. Every MA or LPN will no longer be able to work putting us in a huge bind which will put patients that need medical services in a huge bind.

Follow me since you seem to be slow.

I’m a LPN or MA making $12-16 an hour, I can keep working and expose my self to getting COVID-19 or I can stay at home and make $6-8 more an hour. What an I going to do?

I’m not even blaming them, but do know businesses will struggle to keep workers and in our case that will directly affect patient care.

Also, you get laid off your company insurance runs out at the end of that month so what happens then? The laid off employee now files for a government supplemented insurance and is getting that free as well.

So now this same person is making:

$600 from feds
$250 from State of La
= $850 a week or $21.25 an hour 40/work week.

and government healthcare!

I'm not sure how this can happen for the amount of people that are laid off.
