ah ok that was unclear in the wapo calculator to me
mistimed having a child and filing 2019 taxes i guess
oh well not like this one time check is doing jack shit for individuals in crisis anyway
The bump in UI is a lot more important than a 1 time check. An extra 600 a week (1200 for a couple) on top of state UI for 4 months is a big deal.
Especially when you live in a state like NC with absolutely awful UI.
NC used to have decent UI until 2013 when Phil Berger, Tillis, McCrory & Company took complete control of the state government and started slashing UI benefits left and right. Can't have all those worthless unemployed workers taking money from our invaluable companies in this state! Now it's pitiful.
might be a good time to revisit this article: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2011/10/10/state-for-sale
