I have mixed emotions about this. On the one hand, I agree it’s very strange people are going to get a raise on unemployment. But on the other hand as someone who is going to be receiving unemployment for the foreseeable future I’m hugely relieved at the thought of receiving the additional money. DH and I feel like we just had the rug yanked out from under us. Many tears have been shed, and we have enough savings to live for a while, but this was so unexpected that we would both be unemployed. I could go on and on, but yes, I’m with you guys. It seems odd that people will essentially get a raise, but for my family the swift passing of the stimulus package was a tremendous relief. But as I stated above, I have yet to see the extra $600, and given how quickly the government typically moves, I’m not expecting it any time soon.
