Dec 2020

there are those like me who are waiting for original state or federal PUA payments because of understaffed unemployment agencies with a backlog of "benefit reviews."

So now we will have a lapse go into effect, so even if the veto is overridden, we have a new batch of claims for extensions, adding to the workload.

Here in 'da mitten, we have 200 managers doing reviews with a backlog at last count numbering over 75K, plus a load of fraudulent claims that have to be weeded out.

WHAT AN ABSOLUTE CLUSTER FUCK.
