Methods to stay safe: Practice social distancing and wash your hands often. Pump gas using gloves or a paper towel. Avoid large crowds, and stay home as much as possible. When in public wear a mask. 

​

Get plenty of exercise and fresh air, but still practice social distancing. 

 

If you can't pay your bills, call your bill collectors. Call your mortgage company and ask for a forbearance. Call your car loan company and ask for a forbearance or deferment as well. Most utilities are not disconnecting services because of this pandemic.

 

Stimulus Package- Here are the big points:

​

1. No payments on federal student loans until September 30, 2020. Call your federal student loan provider. Private student loans are not covered in this bill. 

​

2. $1200 stimulus checks per adult and $500 per child as long as the adjusted gross income is less than $75,000 for single filers, $112,500 for head of household single filers, and $150,000 for joint filers

 

3. Low interest loans for small businesses that may be forgiven. You must go to your bank to apply. 

 

4. Unemployment benefits- you must file through your state. File as soon as possible, and do your weekly verifications. https://dew.sc.gov/
