I have used agencies to find mom's aid, but am very concerned that with the CoronoRelief Act, getting paid 600/week will deter employees?

I think you may see some employers choose to lay off some employees instead of reducing their hours because they know the person will get full wages (or maybe more) during the 4 months of extended unemployment. So instead of reducing hours so everyone gets to work some, the employer may choose to work some employees full time and lay off others - so everybody gets a full check.

Unless they are laid off by the agency, why would you worry? Usually when you quit, you aren’t eligible for unemployment.

My advice is not to panic. This is not going to last forever, If everyone does what we need to stop the spread of this Virus, the sooner we can get back to business. You will have to get inventive with health adds and book keepers can work remotely. You can also ask these agencies for suggestions.

The payment is going to people who have been laid off and qualify for unemployment insurance. I would be surprised if there were a lot of layoffs in home health care field...or any health care area for that matter. You still aren't eligible for unemployment compensation if you quit your job.

If you were hoping to hire a retail clerk, waiter or a housekeeper to help you, the fact that unemployment insurance will now cover many people's monthly expenses will make that harder to do for the next four months.

Yes, Ff is right. Plus, this $600 a week isn’t forever.

Florida, I doubt the extra money from the U.S. government would cause people to leave their jobs. Said extra money will help those who had max out their credit cards buying extra food, toilet paper, Lysol type products, and other necessary supplies to have on stock as we ride out this C-19 virus.
