Coronavirus Relief Gives Full $600 a Week Even to Workers Facing Cut Hours

Did you get your hours cut? Here's some news that will hopefully help make things easier for you.

You might temporarily be getting more income from the government for the hours that you've been cut than you would've made working them.

State officials say, California workers who had their hours cut as little as 10% because of the coronavirus pandemic can get the full $600-a-week that's being offered in the federal rescue package.

via Los Angeles Times:

"In practice, however, few companies and workers so far are taking advantage of the benefits, partly because of the unprecedented backlog of unemployment claims in California and other state unemployment offices, and partly because many business owners don’t yet fully understand the incentives created by the CARES Act to encourage businesses to reduce employees’ hours rather than lay them off."
