Here's all the pandemic emergency programs that expire this week
Assuming that Washington doesn't agree to an extension of these emergency benefits, this is the doom that we are facing.
PEUC program extended regular unemployment insurance from 26 weeks to 39 weeks...Federal funding ends Dec. 31..
[PUA] Independent contractors, self-employed and gig workers and other workers who don't qualify for unemployment benefits got up to 39 weeks of unemployment insurance under the CARES Act...Full federal funding for PUA ends Dec. 26, affecting about 7.3 million workers. After that, federal support drops to 50 percent, although some states are choosing to then opt out entirely.
Under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, certain employers are required to give time off to people who were caring for others or who were sick themselves... It was the first time Congress had required federal paid leave for private-sector workers. The measures end Dec. 31.
The program that everyone is correctly focused on is the soon ending eviction moratorium.
The eviction moratorium approved by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was originally set to end Dec. 31. It was expected to be extended through January by Congress under a $900 billion COVID-19 relief package...
A study by global investment firm Stout estimates up to 14 million households could already be close to eviction, with a rental shortfall of more than $24 billion...
Since spring, 43 states, along with the District of Columbia, issued their own temporary moratoriums, but as of this week, only 14 were still in place with another handful also set to run out at year’s end.
States have tackled the problem to varying degrees, with some urging eviction courts to suspend operations except for emergencies while nonetheless allowing landlords to file proceedings short of kicking their tenants out.
That means that once the moratorium does end, said Yentel of the National Low Income Housing Coalition, evictions will happen quickly “because in many cases all the proceedings will have happened, and the only step left to take will be removing the person from their home.”
For homes with federally backed mortgages from Fannie or Freddie, foreclosures were suspended until Jan. 31, affecting an estimated 28 million people.
Student loan deferments are set to expire Jan. 31.

Trumpolini signs bill

Whatta grandstander...big talk ($2000), but little action as is his usual routine. None the less, tragedy awaits with looming evictions next month.
“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
Notice they put 100% of the blame on Trump
when at least 50% of it should belong to Nancy Pelosi and Yertle McConnell - more of it to her, because she wouldn't even bring up any assistance bills prior to the election because that might help Trump's chances(!).
Now that Bidump is within sight of the White House, NOW it's OK to offer piddling little amounts on a one-time basis.
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
