We the people ask the federal government to Call on Congress to act on an issue:

In all future bills containing COVID relief for people who are on unemployment, add a "Due by" date for states.

Created on January 13, 2021

I live in Virginia, but I am sure I can speak for the majority of people who are still to this day waiting for a single payment from your state when the majority of our benefits exhausted on Dec 26th.

Virginia just posted their update (1/13/2021) on when people on PUA/PEUC can expect to see the system updated with the new guidelines, they said they expect 1/29/2021 for the system to be ready. People currently living in VA and who are on PUA/PEUC who have exhausted their 39 weeks before or on Dec. 26th have been without any type of assistance since then. Most states paid out the new relief in a reasonable amount of time, some did not.

We are asking congress to force states to update their systems and pay out those who are eligible within 15 days of any new relief being signed. Please.
