(CNN) Millions of jobless gig-workers and independent contractors, as
well as long-term unemployed Americans, are set to lose their
unemployment benefits after this weekend since Donald Trump hasn't
signed the $900 billion relief package Congress passed last week.

What's more, all laid-off workers will likely lose a week of the $300
federal boost to payments because Trump didn't put his signature on the
bill by midnight Saturday.

The Covid-19 relief legislation, which had arrived at Mar-a-Lago by
Friday to await Trump's signature, would extend the number of weeks
people can stay on two key pandemic unemployment programs and increase
weekly benefits by $300 for all through mid-March.



(Meanwhile, Trump plays golf and issues pardons for his criminal buddies
and associates and relatives...)



Maybe if congress really gave a **** about those people they would
have put covid relief on the covid relief bill that Trump did sign 3
weeks ago. This is a pork laden bill where less than 10% of the money
spent has anything remotely to do with covid relief. Even some of that
is pretty sketchy.
