[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a preschool teacher - yes. Our owners collected tuition for March but laid everyone off in mid-March. They have asked parents to continue paying tuition if they can. So these monies are going straight into the owners’ pockets. They will not get a small business loan. It’s infuriating. [b]Unemployment is 40% of our normal take home pay, which isn’t much to begin with. [/b]
Your tuition dollars largely go to support teachers. If your owners are not %100 transparent about where those funds are going - to pay teachers so they can feed their families, you should be paying a considerably reduced amount to cover the schools rent and to keep the lights on.
While it is true that we will still need jobs when this is all over, this has definitely opened my eyes and made me reconsider whom I want to work for when schools do reopen. I have 20 years experience and a master’s degree so I may very well go to a school that cares a bit more for their employees. The employees who stay will likely be the ones who can’t get a teaching position elsewhere.
It’s a lose-lose for teachers and parents.[/quote]

But you should qualify for the $600 bonus to unemployment bonus.  The distribution of the increased unemployment will start between this week and the last week of April and the amount is supposed to be retroactive to your eligibility date (the date you were laid off).  Unfortunately there are delays getting the money out and the applications processed due to high volume.  Last week, the number of residents of MD who filed for unemployment exceeded the total number of people who filed in 2019.  They are trying to get the applications processed as quickly as possible and the money distributed as quickly as possible.[/quote]
