Unemployment benefits are changing throughout the pandemic.

Not everyone gets the state's max UI amout, some just qualify for $50 a week to $1 dollar. Are are they suppose to survive on that amount if unemployment bonus $600 is not extended or decreased? Worst riot is American history is coming!

They forgot to mention that Texas is currently suffering from a massive outbreak of coronavirus.

You are the VERY FIRST news outlet to say that those who REFUSE to go back to work WILL BE DENIED BENEFITS! Everyone else prefers to let you think that they can refuse and still go on getting benefits. This has been a MAGA talking point since March that all let slide!

Even at the lower unemployment pay rate is more than I make working 3 jobs, that you have claimed to be a essential

[TheArley]

On the surface this sounds like a bad thing but a lot of people are not going back to work because they are making more money on unemployment.

if your employer calls you dont answer the phone! txt back "i have a fever cant talk right now"

How are people not back at work yet? How are y'all complaining? This virus has been insanely blown out of proportion. Go back to work.
