@GovAndyBeshear begins with this quote, which reminds us how he shut the economy down for a few dozen cases, reopened us with thousands, recommended schools stay closed to in-person on the same day he announced 23,000 can attend the derby. He’s a walking parody.

@GovAndyBeshear reminding us how much more debt the federal government has put us in to bail out governors like him who have destroyed economies. Using it as a campaign style announcement. He literally done nothing, but okay. #CARESAct

The federal government *CAN* help the economy recover and ensure that recovery is broad-based and equitable. @equitablegrowth's @dsmitch28 lists 21 actionable policy recommendations to combat the #coronavirus #recession 👇equitablegrowth.org/twenty-one-pol… (1/x)

1. We need #UnemploymentBenefits! UI helps workers weather an economic crisis while keeping demand for goods and services from plummeting. The emphasis on work disincentives reflects racist biases against low-income workers of color. equitablegrowth.org/factsheet-unem… (2/x)

IDHS: only four businesses required "additional education" about capacity limits under coronavirus order. Most complaints were unfounded, and no cases have progressed to fines or enforcement actions.

20,000 bundles of #PPE from state marketplace shipped to Indiana businesses so far; 70,000 more planned over next month.

30,000 new #unemployment claims, continuing to taper off from March explosion.

If you're #SelfEmployed, #freelance or #SmallBusiness, applying for #unemploymentbenefits for the first time, here's what I learned when applying for #PUA from the California #EDD. First of all, you start here and create a new account: ow.ly/7vwt50zxuz0

Once you register for a new account with Benefit Programs Online, you will be able to proceed to "UI Online," then "File a New Claim." Like many self-employed professionals, my income has fallen off a cliff, but not dried up completely. That's OK; you can still file.

Assuming you worked full-time in your business before, enter your previous hours per week as 40 & your annual income as the net income claimed on your Schedule C last year. That's at the very bottom, Line 31. As long as your net income is over $17,368, you qualify.
