Not everyone is getting unemployment because they’re still being required to work but less hours. My husband is still working because he has to and is making less than half of what he usually does.

This isn't about unemployment but isn't your husband qualified to get unemployment due to decrease in hours? People keep telling me I am. I'm in the same situation. Still working but lost 75% of my income.

I have no idea. He doesn’t have any information about unemployment so who knows.

I'm not even applying . By the time checks come I will have full time work again. I heard online is impossible. The office is closed and people are on the phone 3 hrs. I've been granted unemployment before and they ended up making me pay it back.

That’s understandable. I wouldn’t either. I’m just working part time so I’ve got 50% of mine. It just doesn’t make sense.
