Tweet - "I welcome the decrease of jobless claims from last week, but this improvement is far too slow for far too many Americans & their families. Today, the US is experiencing 16 times as many unemployment claims as it did a year ago, with half a million more Americans filing per week."

Rep. Steny Hoyer
|
| Oct. 20, 2020
|
Tweet - "Thousands of families are at risk of losing their homes in January if an agreement isn't reached to provide additional relief. Democrats provided relief to renters & homeowners in the #HeroesAct & the next COVID-19 bill must also include this assistance."

Letter to the Hon. Charles Rettig, Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service - Congressman Cohen Leads Letter Demanding IRS Disseminate Crucial Information to Nearly Nine Million Low-Income Americans Regarding their $1,200 Economic Impact Payments
|
Rep. Jamie Raskin, ...
|
| Oct. 1, 2020
|
Tweets - "Jobless claims remain unprecedented, with over 800,000 new claims last week. Americans are continuing to suffer during this pandemic. Democrats have introduced a new bill to provide relief, but I hope we can reach a bipartisan agreement instead."
|
Rep. Steny Hoyer
|
| Sept. 24, 2020
|
Tweet - "The uptick in unemployment claims reflects more suffering & pain from the economic fallout resulting from GOP failure to address the pandemic. It also shows that the GOP argument against additional $600 in assistance is meritless. The GOP needs to get serious & take real action."

Tweet - "Week after week, unemployment numbers show the catastrophic economic impact this pandemic is having on American households. It's getting worse: last week nearly 1 million new jobless claims were filed & the number of Americans waiting to get back to work went up, not down."
|
Rep. Steny Hoyer

|
Tweet - "Millions of American families went over a financial cliff after the GOP Senate allowed $600 emergency unemployment to expire. Now the President's insufficient executive order is over before it began."

Rep. Steny Hoyer
|

Tweet - "The Republican narrative that Americans were disincentivized to return to work while receiving $600 in enhanced UI couldn't be further from the truth."
|
Rep. Steny Hoyer
|
| Sept. 10, 2020
|
Tweet - "It is unacceptable that, over a month after Republicans allowed emergency unemployment assistance to expire, nearly 1 in 5 Americans are still waiting to get back to work. This is the wrong direction."

|
Tweet - "The jobless claims report again shows over 1M new claims in a week. Nearly 30M Americans are waiting to get back to work. The GOP said the extra $600 in UI benefits was a disincentive to work. With this expanded benefit gone, we see how false that is. We need the #HeroesAct now."
