Anyone have anecdotal evidence about how this is playing out? I keep reading about the record numbers who are applying for it, but are they actually getting it?

Agencies are backed up right now but claims will be processed. Why would you think someone wouldn’t get their unemployment?

It’s been weeks and people have not gotten checks. You’re naive to think they will come within a month of application. Better for the daycare to pay the teachers.

You’re going to have to point out where I said that checks will come in a month.

I just got the email from DD’s center. I feel awful. I would rather keep paying tuition, I want them to be taken care of. We’ll get significantly reduced tuition, but this feels awful.

When they lay off the teachers, how much less will you have to pay per month to reserve your spot, that would be my question.

Not a matter of if they're going to get it, but if they're going to be able to process it in a reasonable amount of time

Well it’s not like state unemployment agencies were staffed up to handle this volume. People are going to have to be patient.

Ok, but it's not crazy to ask how long it takes to get the money from others' experiences.

My nephew has gotten his first unemployment check in the $300 range but no sign yet of the extra money that was promised with the stimulus bill, it may be coming later.

Yes they will get their checks. They already stopped paying at our center and refuse to take our money and funnel it to staff. (Any donations will be given to the over arching non profit but not necessarily used on staff.)

If you have someone’s Venmo info you can always just send them money, but I would worry about the appearance of favoritism. And insulting them. I chose to just donate to Manna and SOME, since those orgs must be overworked.

It sucks and makes me glad my kid is headed to K.

As long as the daycare workers have been legally paid they have paid into the unemployment fund. They will get unemployment.

They can get unemployment.

Once they stop getting paid, they can collect unemployment and it's at a stepped up rate.

Well, they decided to stop paying them in 2 weeks. We've been paying for daycare (even though it's closed) for nearly a month because we wanted them to keep paying the teachers.

This is really making me kind of sick. We can't support all of them on our own and rounding up support to donate money directly to teachers isn't going as well as I'd hoped.

What would you do? Just donate to them what you can? Is it insulting to give someone a handout like that?
