Yeah we need some more info on exactly how the program is graduated to understand what's what, as well as whether the payments are taxable as income by the state or federally.

Who does it say deposited the money?

>Over 248,000 people applied to the program before the Oct. 1 deadline, but only 156,000 workers qualified for benefits.

>In November, lawmakers voted to add $30 million to the fund and bring the total to $105 million.

>More than 66,000 people who make $50,000 or less each year will receive the full $1,000 bonus, while applicants with higher incomes will get significantly smaller amounts. The program covers a wide range of employees, including health care workers, teachers and firefighters.

It's always around.

It's extra around right now because of COVID, in two ways. First, peoples bodies are busy fighting off COVID basically all the time, and as a result other pathogens are able to survive a bit better, sometimes much better, and RSV is surviving long enough in the body to make it to the lower airways, where it can cause breathing issues and normal viral fever, aches, etc. Second, people aren't being as sanitary with distancing, masking, hand washing, cleaning, and eating urinal cakes again and so forth, and so lots of people who didn't have it for a long time are getting it again, lots of kids getting it for the first time, so their RSV antibodies are low or non-existent, and it survives long enough to become symptomatic, which includes cough-spraying droplets of lung fluid, spreading the virus.

Look up COVID conjunctivitis and COVID toe.

COVID is so hard to kill off, it preoccupies your immune system and you end up with flare ups of your toe fungus and your eye boogers.

Most people probably don't even notice that their athletes foot flared up when they got COVID or woke with a bit more crust in their eye than usual.

Severe COVID toe, 🤮. Large, yellow, puss-filled fissures of the skin, severe swelling, and bleeding. IV antifungal, surgical debridement, and partial amputation in the most severe cases; could progress to necrosis, sepsis, organ failure, and death.

Imagine getting tricked by antivax conspiracies and then getting killed by essentially severe athletes foot, secondary to COVID-19. 🤣

>It also abolishes income tax (take home what you make), payroll tax, estate tax and any gift taxes like the ones we pay after gifting 10k or more. Guarantees high taxes on extravagant purchases, cars, boats, houses etc. Don't see how that's a bad thing at all.

This is an idiotic, regressive tax plan supported only by dumb assholes and the super rich, it would only benefit the wealthy, and that's why Republicans support it. Guess you got tricked.

E: The gift tax isn't reportable by the donor until he or she gifts a lifetime total of $12,920,00, and that only includes gifts per donee beyond the annual exclusion, which this year is $17,000.00.

So unless you have gifted over $12.92 million in your whole life, not including the first $17k you gift each person per year, you will never pay one penny in federal gift tax and neither will anyone to whom you've given money.

CT excludes $16k annually and $9.1 million lifetime.

Fucking Yankee Institute.

Eversource's price gouging of the residents of Connecticut is a direct result of the corporate propaganda pushed out by trash "think tanks," such as this one, funded by the billionaire class for the sole purpose to trick poor people into cutting their taxes and deregulating big business.

Anti American fucking hacks. Hope y'all are the first to be eaten when the class war comes.
