.@USOPM, what percentage of federal employees are still teleworking? This status seem to acknowledge that there are still significant risks for in person employees. So why did the Biden administration end pandemic UI & tell everyone else to risk it & "get back to work"?

The #AmericanRescuePlan is moving into the Senate. Not only are the UI provisions already insufficient, they are at risk of being further reduced. More graphics & information on this at extendpua.org/post/feb-27-ho…

Have you heard from your constituents on this issue?
Here's Carson. His benefits expired before the Dec bill passed because he's been unemployed since March. He lost his home. AZ needs a larger direct payment than $2K to pay back debt. AZ needs extended & boosted UI & PUA.

.@JoeBiden has released his plan; now Congress decides what to do with it. Together, we must push our legislators to support the plan for more relief & include the things it is missing like retroactivity.

GEORGIA - @SenatorLoeffler & @sendavidperdue refuse to stand up for robust pandemic relief. Georgians receive an average of $254/week in UI. The average living wage in GA is $1,194/week. Join us & @unemployedact @CPDAction in demanding COVID #ReliefForTheHolidays.

Millions of people in America are hurting deeply. Much of the struggle could be alleviated by assistance from the US government. Months of inaction are not acceptable. We need robust unemployment payments, stimulus checks, & rent & healthcare relief NOW.

Retroactivity is key. Without the $600, UI is not a livable wage & millions of people have been "living" on it for the last 5 months. Halved payments in 2021 will not back pay 2020's debts.
Only 15% of people are receiving more than 50% of their previous income.

67.7% of those surveyed are on PEUC or PUA and at risk of losing all benefits on Dec 26th without government action. 91.6% of those surveyed are currently considered long-term unemployed.
We need to extend the expiration date & add additional weeks for all PEUC & PUA claims.

Even as some “return to work” the majority of them are still struggling to survive with cut hours and pay.
We need direct aid payments to these underemployed workers so they can afford their needs and dig their way out of at least 6 months of debt.

44% of those surveyed on UI receive less than 25% of their previous income. That is why we need retroactive FPUC at the full $600. Find this insight and more at: ExtendPUA.org/report

It's time to #JamTheLines!
Over 13 million people will lose all help before 2021. We need robust relief & we need it now. Electeds do not feel this urgency; they need to hear it from you today. Calling works & only takes 5 min. Script & Numbers at ExtendPUA.org/jam

The unemployment rate is not an accurate measure of currently unemployed or impacted workers.
This number is STILL low because there is no way to calculate all of those who are experiencing cut in pay and hours.
It is so clear. We need #ReliefNow.
Thank you @EconomicPolicy
