For those of us unemployed, when will we see the $300/wk unemployment & the $600 (or $2,000) check?

3. A couple weeks

Checks/deposits of the $600 are probably 10-14 days away.

The $300 UE bonus will be a few weeks away too, but keep filing as normal, the extra weeks will show up when you file, but the $300 will take at least 2 weeks to filter through your state's UE system.

UE ended the 26th, the bill was signed the 27th, so I don't think this will make a 1 week lag without coverage for people. I think it's retroactive the 1 day.

Honestly, I'd have rather seen the $400 extended for 20 weeks and have no $600 or $2000 stimulus. Unemployed workers are who needs the help. I have not been affected financially, so the $600 is nice, but I don't need it. Better yet, they should have given the $300 retroactive to July when the $600 ended, and then extend it out until May.

The $600 to everyone is basically a bribe, most do not need it. The people who do need it, need a lot more than $600 because the UE went to almost nothing for them in July. Those are the people who are facing financial ruin and maybe homelessness, they need the help. Those are the people who should get say back dated UE help of $5000 plus UE extended with a $300 bonus for the next 5 months.

The money is not needed by many, and not enough for those who really need the help.
