Actually that's not accurate. The benefits being channeled through unemployment insurance and the Payroll Protection Program are pretty generous. I think there are a lot of people who have not applied for unemployment benefits who are in fact eligible under the expanded rules. There are some state systems that have been overwhelmed, but hopefully that is sorted out soon.
Not to mention forgiven loans for businesses who dont lay off people.
