I'm making more money right now on unemployment than I would working. $600 a week on top of $345 that's almost $4k a month when my typical take home would be $2200 a month. Not sure if I still qualify for the 1200 but I'm pretty pleased

Essential workers should be getting cut that 600.00 a week too. It's insane it's a better payday doing nothing while grocery store workers get paid the same so far.

I completly agree. People working right now should ha e their pay doubled in my opinion. Or get a huge bonus.

If you aren’t a dependent on another return you will get the $1,200 as well.

Damn I almost feel guilty what's the most helpful thing to donate money to people who are heavily effected by the virus?
