There are millions of parents and mothers whose entire livelihood was disrupted by the pandemic. Between March and April 2020, 3.5 million mothers dropped out of active work, according to the Census Bureau, and 10 million mothers weren't working as of January, 2021, that's a third of all mothers who live with school-aged kids in the US.
Young children are too too young to be vaccinated, and the Delta variant is a concern for kids returning to school and the parents that take care of them.
With Delta cases on the rise just as back-to-school season begins, return to normalcy looks far off. Experts told Insider that mothers may not return to work for months.
"Right now, a year later, the coronavirus is still out there and it's affecting kids.
Most out of work has been on a federal unemployment program, Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC), which extends how long workers can receive benefits. The PEUC program has most single parents "staying afloat," able to take care of their bills and rent. The problem is it's expiring on September 6, 2021 without any permanent replacement.
There's no way that these kids are going to keep a mask on all day, nor social distance. They're children, it's going to be nearly impossible. So kids that have underlying medical conditions, it's dangerous for them to go and possibly be exposed to COVID-19.

It's a shame that they're going to cut these benefits, not knowing everyone's situations are very different, or some may be similar to mine. Most are not sure sure what their going to be doing financially moving forward without these benefits from unemployment.
With the unemployment benefits, most were staying afloat. There may be other other resources out there, but, again, they can only do so much and it's not guaranteed that most are going to receive any of those benefits.

Keep in mind that there is still not yet a vaccine for children under 12 years old. We're going to have really challenging - maybe impossible - times without those benefits. I would tell [the governor] to be knowledgeable of every person's unique situations on the reasoning on why people cannot return to work.
There is always a solution to every situation and we believe there is more than one, should you be in this situation, so call us seven days a weeks from 1000am until 1000pm, at 215.550.3636.
