    Default $1,500 to drop unemployment and go back to work

    How sad is that?

    I have a better idea for them: Go out and get a job, and your unemployment is now over. If you do not - then your unemployment goes back to regular levels of $104-$504 in NY - $450 in California - $535 in Texas. And that's IF you qualify under all normal circumstances. Briging folks in a manner to get back to work is ridiculous.

    Maine to Provide $1,500 Payments to People on Unemployment Who Return to Work

    The Maine state government announced it would be offering $1,500 payments to residents who begin working between June 15-30 in an effort to incentivize residents currently receiving unemployment benefits to return to work.

    The state government said the payments, which are part of their “Back to Work” program, will be administered by the Maine Department of Labor and the Department of Economic and Community Development.

    On top of the $1,500 payment, residents returning to the workforce in June will be eligible for an additional $1,000 payment, according to the Bangor Daily News.

    The program, which operates on a first-come, first-serve basis and has the potential to impact up to 7,500 Maine residents, will use $10 million of federal funds.

    Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D) said in a press release that the state is "providing another tool to accelerate peoples’ transition back into the workforce."

    We have worked hard over the last fifteen months to get the pandemic under control so that it’s safe for everyone to return to work. Now COVID cases are down, vaccines are widely available, and jobs are plentiful.

    I’m in Maine right now. Saw a sign today that said, “If you have a pulse, apply here”
