“I lost all sources of income due to the pandemic crisis. As a freelance musician, most if not all of my work will not resume until next year or whenever there is a vaccine, as social distancing is not possible in small jazz clubs and piano bars in NYC. The extra $600 per week in federal pandemic unemployment compensation has helped me to pay timely rent and additionally have a little leftover to buy food and pay bills; it has saved me from eviction. If this $600 a week is not extended past July 31, I cannot expect to have any money for at least four months. The federal compensation has been my only remote sense of ANY financial security.”
