I have 2 kids and do work, but my paycheck just barley covers the rent and electric. It does not cover my car payment which I am behind to being let go due the covud virus and shut us down and still have not hired us back. I need this money to keep paying my bill. I just now barely all caught up, another 3 months will get me caught up and also ahead on payment when it would have ended in September instead of now June 26,2021.

I have a husband and 4 kids 3 of them disabled. My youngest baby has chronic lung disease and a hole in her heart. We are all quarantined because it's the best thing for her. She isn't even one yet. We shouldn't have to be forced to work because our governor is having a hissy fit! It shocks me the lack of empathy for the very people who put him office!

Taking this away 10 weeks early will hurt a lot of people that aren’t back on their feet yet! The people have planned on receiving until September, that’s what they should be entitled to.

We need to get all that the state of Arkansas had to offer. It's extended untill September then it should be up to the people if they want to continue to accept the unemployment instead of "Asa." Hopefully the Biden Admin will step in and solve this bullcrap matter

I am self employed and the Pandemic definitely affected my business and I haven’t regained enough to sustain yet. Having until September like promised would be very helpful as I restructure how I do business.

I am self employed. I clean houses for a living. This pandemic has truly effected me even as vaccinations are being given. My clients are leary of letting anyone in their Homes even with them being vaccinated! I knew I had til September to convince them but now I have no clue what I will do. I have called people, posted on Facebook, put flyers on vehicles in Walmart parking lot!!!! which all cost money! I guarantee the pua I am receiving now is not near what I was making so I am even struggling with that. it's not fair to the ones who truly need this!!!!

We had employment and lost it to no fault of our own. Most of our jobs are either not hiring back at the moment still due to covid, or are no longer available period. This extention was passed over a month ago and most of us know not to count on anything going further. But when this extention passed it gave us piece of mind knowing we will have until September to be called back to our previous employment that sustained our families and paid our bills. Or find a SUITABLE place of employment to meet our financial needs. We have done without and been held back and still are playing catch up on our bills as is due to Arkansas' flawed system. We are the working class we live paycheck to paycheck and are no stranger to making ends meet but ripping the rug out from under us is a new low from a Government we were asked to vote for.
