President Trump signed the 900 900 billion Covid-19 relief package on Sunday, after which he initially asked Congress to amend it just before the Christmas holidays.
The law, which was negotiated on a bilateral basis, provides for $ 600 in direct payments. After the deal passed in Congress, Trump asked for a ચેક 2,000 check instead.
CNN asked you, our viewers and readers, after passing a bill for your thoughts on the latest relief package. Many expressed frustration at the direct payment of $ 600 and said the bill did not provide adequate assistance.
Brianna of Concord, North Carolina, lost her job as a business development coordinator for a massage franchise in March due to an epidemic and has not received unemployment payments since October. She and her husband now rely on the volatile income generated from the small flooring company they own, where her husband also works.
She told CNN that the તપાસ 600 stimulus check is beneficial, but not enough for her family for the next few months, especially since she is worried about paying her mortgage on time.
“$ 600 per adult plus $ 500 per child is not enough for us to spend, let’s just say four months,” he said.
“So, we’re very, very careful with our money,” Brianna explained.
He said the first stimulus package earlier this year was more helpful.
Brianna also noted that her situation is particularly difficult because she decided to take her 7-year-old daughter to homeschool because of the uncertainty about that person and virtual education.
He told CNN that homeschooling takes six to seven hours of his day, and he devotes time to helping his daughter with school work. While Brianna is looking for a job, it has become difficult to find a job that works with her current schedule.
“People like me and my family fall between the cracks,” he said. “We need a little help.”
Nicole, a self-employed hairdresser from Los Angeles, California, who has been out of work for most of the year, called the $ 600 payment an “insult.” She depends on her husband’s income and unemployment payments.
“We’re a two-income household and we need two incomes to make it work,” Nicole told CNN. Being unable to work has been a “big hit,” she said.
He told CNN that the current package was not enough, and like Brianna, he said the first stimulus package was more helpful.
“We’ve been waiting and praying here for six or seven months since the end of July, when the first… unemployment, epidemic support was over and since then nothing good has happened, yes, but what are we going to do? That? Where is it going? ? While there are plenty of places to go, ”Nicole said.
He expressed frustration over how long the current package took to pass, calling it “unacceptable.”
The U.S. House of Representatives may pass a provision Monday night to increase the amount of money individuals and families receive in provocation checks to $ 2,000.
