John Kennedy just said on the news that if your laid off you can get $800+ a week from unemployment!

That is $20 an hour for a 40 hour week of work or $41,600 a year!

Is there a timeframe for these kinds of benefits? Doesn’t seem sustainable to me and talk about low income employees not going to work now!

He's incredibly wrong.


Most you can get is 247 before taxes.

Don’t be a retard. He said up to $600 if you meet certain requirements. $247 from the state and remainder from the fed.

I heard that too. Aren’t the feds going to supplement the state’s payments if your lay-off is COVID related?

Is this the first time you ever examined the United States Welfare system?

Good. Open your eyes. It’s insane how much the 50% of this country that actually pays taxes covers for the leeches.

That’s part of the problem with the bill right now. Lindsey Graham said if you live in SC you would get $24.17/hour on unemployment. Gives the incentive for employers to lay people off. Who would want to go back to work making that kind of money?

If you are a single guy you get a 1200 check and then $800 a week for either 16 weeks or until the hookers and cocaine run out.
