The good news is the number of U.S. furloughed or laid off workers slowed down this week. Hopefully, this will continue!

Unemployment Numbers
Unemployment applications rose by 5.25M this week (6.6M last week) which brings the nationwide total to over 21M.

Stimulus Check Info
If you have not received your Economic Impact Payment (stimulus check) track it here:

For Direct Deposits: IRS Get My Payment

For USPS Deliveries: USPS Informed Delivery

The methods are based on your 2018 and or 2019 tax filing(s) with the IRS.

Scams
According to LifeLock there are a number of scams criminals are using to take your money. Do not give your information to anyone via phone, email, social media or text in exchange for a deposit, processing fee or a quick advance. Especially if they are calling the payment a “stimulus check”. The correct name is Economic Impact Payment.

Here’s some employment facts and info to help make things easier for you.

Unemployment Numbers
Another 6.6M employees were laid off or furloughed last week bringing the national unemployment # to 16.6M .

CARES Application
If you need the CARES stimulus application use the below link. Don’t try to call your local SBA or DOL office, the hold times are up to (7) days. They should create a recording like every Amazon facility in GA which states, they are not accepting calls at this time. I guess the government better not do that!

If you live outside of GA, here’s the link to find your state’s application:
