1. Thank you Dems....

[Demsrule86]

2. You are welcome! It may be retroactive even...don't know.

[LizBeth]

5. I heard it was not. Now the info I am looking for is many of us will be kicked off in a week, or two

before the Dec 26 deadline. We are running out of the 13 week PUI that was suppose to take us to the deadline and we need to see if that will be an end to our claim and sol. If you hear anything.

11. The point of the bill is to save those who would lose unemployment with an extension and

add some money to the total... would be pointless to pass this bill and then throw million off of UI.

15. I am thinking/hoping that they are well aware of the issue and state UI will be on it. It is the

waiting for confirmation or the facts that is the challenge especially as we are talking days now for the decisions to be made.

3. $600 check tho?

Damn the GOP is cheap.

4. Yeah and I'm still not eligible even though I was eligible for the first one but it says nope

Ah well good for those who get it. Better than nothing

[Demsrule86]

9. Why would you not be eligible?

[soothsayer]

14. 2018 I earned too much; 2019 was very different

Guess I filed my taxes too late for them to notice that my income fell off a cliff last year. The deal was you were supposed to get it later if you turned out to be eligible (which I well and truly am) but the site continues to tell me no.

However, it might show up on my taxes next year as some kind of offset. Idk.

[demtenjeep]

16. where do you find out if one is eligible?

thanks

7. I do not know the amount of stimulus but probably...although it may include family members.

6. I don't see a filibuster proof majority in Senate, but you

never know

[Demsrule86]

8. I believe that McConnell has to be careful. This is a different time than 2009. I think

Democrats will vote to end the filibuster on policy if McConnell tries to block everything.

10. As someone who has been very fortunate to remain gainfully employed

through all of this, I'd gladly personally sacrifice any potential stimulus check in order to see UI benefits continue at a decent level for all of those affected.

[Demsrule86]

13. We just went back to work after 9 months of UI...and I agree. We sure could us a stimulus but

I would rather see UI continued.

17. Yes this bill is steaming hot garbage but pass it anyway, and make Perdue and Loeffler

take all of the blame that they couldn't deliver more than a measly $600 to their constituents, and they are defunding police and firefighters by not including state and local funding. Then pivot that only Ossoff and Warnock will deliver the goods.

18. Good. Finally!
