honest question, No intent to stir the pot here, I have no idea.
it varies by state. When they kept firing me every 8 months I got well versed in the system. The food stamps were $510 a month for family of 3. The weekly unemployment was a max of $580... back in 2016. I checked yesterday and the max in my state is now $823 weekly. With the stimulus that would add an extra $600 weekly for up to four months for weekly total just over $1400. However, in the old rules you’d still be employed at 19 hours and not be eligible. Check the new stimulus rules as I think they are allowing some level of reduced income to still get unemployment.... you’d have to check in your home state.
