The biggest issue is state level bureaucracy related to unemployment.

Part of the stimulus bill increases unemployment benefits by $600/week. For a lot of lower wage earners this is probably more than they currently make.

If people are having difficulty paying it’s because their unemployment application is stuck in some office and not being processed fast enough. A totally preventable crisis.
