Politician
Oct. 29, 2020
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."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Oct. 19, 2020
Tweet - "Sunday's court ruling to block the Trump Admin from kicking unemployed workers off of SNAP benefits is a massive victory for so many households struggling with food insecurity during this pandemic."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Oct. 15, 2020
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."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Sept. 23, 2020
Letter to the Hon. Charles Rettig, Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service - Congressman Cohen Leads Letter to IRS Commissioner Seeking to Extend Deadline for Economic Impact Payments for Non-Filers
Rep. Jamie Raskin, ...
Sept. 17, 2020
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
Sept. 14, 2020
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
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."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Sept. 10, 2020
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."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Aug. 27, 2020
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."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Aug. 26, 2020
Letter to the Hon. Seema Verma, Administrator at Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services - Balderson Applauds Proposed Telehealth Expansion
Rep. Andy Harris, ...
Aug. 10, 2020
Tweet - "The bill rejected by the Senate today did not provide the resources desperately needed by our nation's families, workers, and businesses as we confront this pandemic. It further demonstrates Republicans' failure to meet this moment of challenge."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Aug. 7, 2020
