The authority granted in the House Armed Services Committee’s (HASC) proposed 2022 NDAA, which will next move to the House floor for a vote, is similar to that in Section 3610 of the CARES Act, a $2.2 trillion pandemic relief bill passed in late March of 2020. The latter applied not just to the Department of Defense but to other federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Energy. This CARES Act provision was criticized at the time for its mammoth giveaway to manufacturers of tankers and bombs, while so many were suffering from the COVID outbreak and its related economic upheaval. (Section 3610 is slated to expire on September 30.) But the version that was slipped into the NDAA, which is targeted at helping military contractors specifically, has gone largely unnoticed, save for reporting in industry trade publications.

Military industry trade groups lobbied aggressively for the giveaway. “This authority has been a critical lifeline for government programs and for the contractor industry during the COVID-19 emergency and has been used across government,” 11 trade organizations, including the National Defense Industrial Association and Professional Services Council, said in a letter sent to key lawmakers on August 11.

It ain’t that people don’t want to work, it’s the parents that are afraid to go back to work because of the lack of childcare. Vaccines are not authorized for kids 12 and under yet. I understand they’re working on it being approved by winter.

Now that delta is ravaging among children and some schools going back to remote, taking benefits from these people were the most retarded thing ever. Should’ve lifted those benefits after vaccines were approved for toddlers heading into kindergarten.

This sounds good, but there are a lot of states that made getting money through these programs, pure hell. A number of people in the reddit group for Maryland UI, don't want the hassle anymore, myself included.

There are people haven't received anything since 2020 or slapped with "over payment" and their weekly amounts are now being deducted. Fraud is still rampant and getting a hold of someone is an all day process. It's easier to just figure it out. With that said, I still hope she's able to get an extension. There are people that really need it and not because they are lazy and don't want to work.
