By when will we know?

I woulda tried harder to get on unemployment had I known they were giving out $600 a week I didn’t find out until like end of June. I tried applying back in February, but the lady denied me n I just said f*** it n never checked again.

Move to the south bro y’all niggas be living in huts in s*** for no reason in Cali. you would be living lavish down here for like a 3rd of the price there

That $600 a week is a huge deal when you add it up.

My household didn't file for unemployment this entire pandemic because I have been finishing my credential, student teaching and looking for work, while my wife kept her job and took a 15% pay cut. However, there is a quirk in the California EDD system that allows people to file for unemployment and get their pay cuts and lost hours back through the state. So we gave it a look.

Making up for the pay cut wasn't a huge deal, a thousand or two at most. But it also gave us access to the $600 checks. Besides the 15% per biweekly check we were owed, there were 16 weeks of $600 checks coming to us.

16 x $600 = $9600

My household has nearly $10,000 coming over the next month that I didn't even know I had access to. That's not even accounting for the 15% that was lost. All of it tax free off the top (we'll feel it when it comes time for our usual tax refund).

And that's just dating back to mid-April. Some people have been out of work since the end of March because of covid. No f***ing s*** people are tripping over $10,000-$11,000. Who wouldn't? That's a lot of money. And it's the only thing keeping a lot of families afloat. F*** the cheap b******s in Congress for pulling the rug out from under the middle class and going on recess before they can patch up the damage.

Everything will work out in the end dawg.

You ever thought about joining the military?
