Hey, guys, it's Ginny Silver with a California update for
you on Thursday, September 30.
Today, Congress has passed a continuing resolution which
will keep the government funded.
This happens just hours before the deadline to avert a government
shutdown. Now the bill excludes a debt limit increase, which
means that the government would shut down by December 3.
The continuing resolution passed in the Senate in a 65 to
35 vote and in the House later approved at a 254 to 175 vote.
The bill also includes $28 billion in disaster aid funding
for recent Hurricanes, along with aid to resettle Afghan
refugees in the US.
What the bill did not include was a debt limit increase,
which Republicans rejected on Monday.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Thursday that
Democrats would have to approve an increase in the nation's
borrowing cap unilaterally through budget reconciliation
that requires only a simple majority vote.
But it is a complicated process which contains many challenges
that Democrats may not be able to clear by December 3.
Treasury Secretary Janet Allen States that the government
will run out of money by October 18 and that the following
sectors would be impacted by this deadline if the debt ceiling
is not raised.
Payments to Social Security, Medicare and Veterans benefits,
tax refunds, federal workers, salaries and retirement benefits,
interest and principal payments on treasury bonds and other
securities, operating expenses running the government unemployment
benefits, Medicaid payments, national defense, including
operating expenses, military salaries and retirement benefits
and vendor payments.
Next today, Governor Gavin Newsom has signed eight bills
on police reform.
Senate Bill two creates a system within the Commission on
Peace Officer Standards and Training to investigate and revoke
or suspend peace officer certification for serious misconduct,
including excessive force, sexual assault, demonstration
of bias and dishonesty.
Senate 16 increases transparency of peace officer misconduct
records pertaining to findings of unreasonable or excessive
use of force, discriminatory or prejudice behavior.
Failure to intervene when witnessing excessive use of force
by a peace officer or participation in unlawful searches
and arrests.
Assembly Bill 26 creates guidelines for police officers to
intercede and immediately report if another officer is using
excessive force.
Assembly Bill 89 raises the minimum age to become a police
officer from 18 to 21 and will enhance education requirements.
Assembly Bill 490 bans technique and transport methods that
involve risk of potential asphyxia if you would like to view
the full bill text for each of the eight bills that was signed.

Next, a deadline is fast approaching.
For those of you who hope to qualify for a Golden State stimulus
to October 15 is the last date in which you must file your
2020 income taxes in order to qualify.
If you qualify for a Golden State stimulus one, you will
not be receiving a second $600 payment, but you may qualify
for a $500 stimulus payment for your dependence claimed on
2020 taxes.
For those of you that did not qualify for a Golden State
Stimulus one, the Gold State Stimulus Two offers expanded
eligibility for those who did not receive that $600 payment
in the first round.
October 15 is the deadline by which you must have filed your
2020 income taxes in order to receive the Golden State Stimulus
Two. So if you qualify and you meet the eligibility requirements,
please keep in mind that you must file your taxes by October
15 for tax or 2020.
Otherwise you will not receive this payment.
Lastly, with today being September 30 is extremely important
deadline in many different ways.
First, today is the expiration date for California statewide
eviction moratorium.
For those of you who may face eviction going forwards, please
make sure that you apply for rental assistance through having
CA. Gov where you can apply through the Housing Is Key program
to get rental assistance to cover up to 100% of your past
do rent as well as future rent and utility payments.
Additionally, for those of you with past due rent, today's
September 30 is the deadline at which you must pay 25% of
your past due rent in order to avoid a fiction.
How this key?
The State's Rental Assistance Program States that you must
pay an amount that equals at least 25% of each rental payment
that came due or will come due during the period between
September 1, 2020 and September 30, 2021.
You will have until September 30, 2021 to pay your landlord
and amount equal to 25% of all rental payments due from this
period. And today's September 30 is the California EDD's
deadline to pay out conditional payments to those of you
with pending certifications in accordance with the class
action settlement Agreements.
For those of you with pending certifications who have been
stuck in pending for over two weeks and have received at
least one unemployment payout on your claim previously, you
would be entitled to conditional payments.
The Edd was required to pay these out by September 30, according
to the Class Action Settlement Agreement.
However, since today is September 30, many of you are still
informing me that you are still stuck impendent.
The Edd has not commented on this yet, and I have reached
out to Daniela Urban, the director of center for Workers
Rights in the Attorney, who is responsible for the class
Action settlement Agreement.
She let me know that she is not yet able to provide a commentary
on this, but as soon as she is able to share more information,
she will update me.
For those of you who are still stuck in Pending, please make
sure that you contact your assembly member right away.
