$600 it is :bear:

I keep seeing this stuff about $600 like that's all the relief is but everything I've read suggests that's not the main stimulus but rather the enhanced EI

 

Isn't the $600 just a 1 time bonus but not the main relief part of the bill?

 

I don't get it. None of the one time payment checks here in Canada were ever any larger than that either. These were one time bonuses not the main relief measure :huh:

No, the $600 is all we are getting. This bill also ups the unemployment sum too, but I don't recall what that amount actually was.

The $600 is the most immediate impact for most Americans and many of us were hoping it would end up being $2000. Obviously the extra money for small businesses and for state governments will have an impact on the overall economy but it’ll obviously be longer for most Americans to see those impacts.

The House will introduce a bill to increase the $600 payments to $2000 tomorrow. It will most likely pass the House, but passing the Senate is questionable.

That's my point. The $600 is just a bonus the main benefit is the enhanced EI. So I don't get why the $600 is looked down so much on

 

Or is it cuz most ppl don't qualify for EI?

Ok so the EI enhancements are not immediate only the $600?
