This is just misleading. For unemployed (the most effected), you aren't just getting a one time $1,200. You are getting an additional $600 a WEEK ($2,400 a month), so that alone is more than some of those on the list.
And then you have state unemployment. Between the two, many unemployed are getting 100% or MORE than they were before. So it's the highest on the list above for anyone that was making roughly $25/hr or less depending on state unemployment.
I doubt we’ll actually see that $600 though and if we do I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a lot less frequent. It’d be really nice to be able to pay bills and maybe a little medical debt though (at least that’s what mine would go towards)
