hey what's going everyone this is sam Kwak here one of the Kwak Brothers and
[2]
welcome back to your next stimulus check update this is august 9 2020 sunday
[8]
and here is your next stimulus check update now i normally don't make videos
[12]
on sundays but this is way too big not to cover and not to
[16]
update you guys as far as what's happening
[18]
president trump signs new executive orders enacting
[21]
four major updates to the stimulus scoreboard and i'll give you guys a full
[25]
breakdown what does it mean when is it going to
[27]
happen and what are the consequences let's go and break it down in this video
[32]
now the very first item that we need to cover is the unemployment benefit of 600
[37]
a week which is no longer 600 a week president trump just signed an executive
[41]
order directing 400 a week of an unemployment benefit
[45]
which 75 percent will come from the federal government
[48]
and the states are asked to pitch in 25 so we're going to update the scoreboard
[53]
and change this number to 400 a week and we're gonna put a green star
[58]
on it making sure you guys understand that
[60]
this is an executive order now couple questions that you probably
[64]
have which is where is the money coming from
[66]
and how long is the extension first of all funding for most of the executive
[71]
orders that president trump signed is coming from the fema fund which is
[74]
generally used for natural disasters like hurricanes so
[78]
right now there's 44 billion dollars in the fema fund
[81]
that will be reappropriated to to cover some of the executive order funding
[86]
so right now what's going to happen is the extension of 400
[89]
a week unemployment benefit will last till december
[93]
6 or if the funds dropped to 25 billion dollars again there's 44
[99]
billion dollars right now in fema if it drops to 25 billion dollars then
[103]
the 400 a week unemployment check will stop or
[107]
it lasts till december 6. so that's going to last till about december 6 or
[112]
whenever the funds hit 25 billion dollars now the number two item as far
[116]
as what president trump signed in as an executive order is the deferment
[120]
of payroll taxes now the key word is defer which means
[124]
that it's delaying so it's not forgiving it's not going away
[127]
it's simply deferring which means that some point later down the road
[131]
congress either has to make an appropriation to either forgive
[135]
the defer payroll taxes or individuals would have to pay the
[140]
payroll taxes somehow whether it's done through
[143]
tax returns or it's done through a some sort of repayment plan
[147]
we don't know it's simply a band-aid at this point what's happening to the
[150]
payroll taxes so here's what it means for you as far
[153]
as the payroll tax deferment goes starting september 1st through december
[157]
31st 2020 every hundred dollars that you make on
[161]
your paycheck you would earn about seven dollars and fifty cents more
[165]
payroll tax is about seven point five to seven point six percent
[168]
so for every hundred dollars that you earn you don't have to pay seven dollars
[171]
and fifty cents which essentially you get to keep in your pocket
[174]
ends up being more money for you at the end of the day also to mention the
[177]
payroll tax cut is for individuals that are making a hundred thousand dollars
[181]
or less so if you're making more than hundred thousand dollars in a year
[184]
you will still end up paying the payroll taxes but if you make
[187]
less than hundred thousand dollars the payroll tax deferment will be in effect
[191]
for you which means you get to keep more money as you earn your paycheck
[195]
so we're going to add a green star to the payroll tax cut
[198]
because that is part of the executive order now the third major item that
[202]
president trump signed on as an executive item
[205]
is the student loan deferment now the student loan will be deferred
[208]
to december 31st at zero percent interest
[211]
and if you have a federally backed student loan right now you don't have to
[215]
make any payments until december 31st now my general
[219]
suggestion comes from my own perspective is that if you have the ability
[222]
to make payments on your student loan i strongly encourage
[226]
you to do so because every dollar that you put in your student loan right now
[230]
is going to be principal because right now all federally backed student loans
[233]
are at zero percent interest because if you have a federally backed student loan
[236]
right now it's at zero percent interest therefore none of
[239]
your payment will go towards interest every dollar that you put into the
[243]
student loan right now will count towards the balance reduction so if you
[247]
have the means to make payments for your student loans i
[249]
strongly encourage you guys to do so because every dollar will count towards
[253]
principal as well as help you guys save money on
[255]
interest and save time in paying off your student loans so
[259]
that's another big item that president trump signed on as far as the executive
[263]
order now as part of the executive order what's clearly missing
[266]
is an executive order for you to go and smash the like button on this video turn
[269]
that like button below help us out with our youtube algorithm
[272]
and i normally don't make videos on sunday so
[275]
definitely go smash the like button for the extra effort now the fourth major
[278]
thing is the eviction moratorium so what does
[281]
that mean well eviction moratorium is a temporary
[284]
eviction ban on any housing or multi-family that
[289]
is being financed by federally backed mortgages so if you own a multi-family
[294]
apartment building or if you own single family or two to
[297]
four units and it's being financed by a mortgage
[300]
that's backed by federal government then there will be an eviction
[304]
moratorium eviction ban you as a landlord will not be able to
[308]
file an eviction for non-payment from your tenants and for my landlords
[312]
watching this i know you guys are grumbling and you guys are not happy
[315]
about it but that is executive order signed by president trump
[318]
now for how long we're not entirely sure but
[322]
the cares act did spell out a 120-day eviction moratorium
[326]
and we will most likely see a same provision for president trump's
[330]
executive orders so 120 days is about four months so
[333]
pretty much to the end of the year we may see an eviction moratorium
[337]
and eviction ban now if your state or your local government
[340]
already has an eviction moratorium that's also an effect as well on top of
[345]
a federally mandated eviction moratorium so keep that in mind it's happening and
[350]
we have to live with it so overall those are all the executive
[353]
orders that president trump signed the unemployment benefit of 400
[356]
a week an eviction moratorium payroll tax deferment not a cut
[361]
and also a extension of the student loan deferment which was set to expire
[366]
september but now individuals now have till december 31st
[370]
when their student loan will be at zero percent interest and they do not have to
[374]
make any payments on the student loans temporarily to december 2020. now
[379]
the question that's floating around right now is can the president really
[382]
sign an executive order enacting some of these provisions as
[386]
we're talking about it now the big item that's being challenged
[390]
and will probably be challenged is the payroll tax deferment because the
[394]
current argument is that the president cannot make any changes to the tax laws
[398]
by his executive order it has to go through congress
[401]
so that could very much be challenged through the court system
[404]
we have to keep on seeing what's going to happen and we have to pay attention
[408]
to whether the executive orders will stand
[410]
constitutionally also the question of how well these executive orders will be
[414]
funded also came into play and just like what i
[417]
mentioned earlier with the unemployment benefit of 400
[420]
a week president trump will re-appropriate funding from fema
[424]
to fund the unemployment benefit of 400 a week and we talked about that already
[428]
but in order for the president to create
[430]
more funding or to print new checks it has to go through congress congress
[434]
has the pocketbooks for the government the president does
[437]
not obviously that's a separation of power issue
[439]
if the president had access to the checkbook of the united states
[442]
government that would be a huge huge abuse of power but you can see
[446]
here that there's separation of power so president trump
[449]
cannot create new stimulus checks that is why we're not seeing the 1200
[453]
direct payment as part of the executive order portfolio because
[456]
that requires additional printing and funding
[460]
which requires congress permission to make it happen so right now what
[463]
president trump can do is sign an executive order on
[467]
payroll tax deferment eviction moratorium unemployment benefit
[470]
of 400 a week until december 6 ish and a
[473]
student loan deferment but all this could be easily challenged
[477]
because right now the democrat senators and democrat lawmakers are not
[481]
happy they're basically calling this a big show or a shenanigan to make it look
[485]
like president trump is doing something for the american people
[487]
but you can't blame the guy for doing what he said he was going to do right he
[490]
did say if there's no agreement by friday he
[493]
will use the executive powers to enact some of these provisions as
[497]
he's talked about i mean the democrat lawmakers pretty much saw this coming
[500]
when president trump said this for like a whole entire week and what's
[503]
interesting is that some of the republican senators are also disagreeing
[506]
with the president's executive orders so we all have to pay
[509]
attention to see what's going to happen with the executive order
[512]
will it be challenged by the court system and right now it seems like it
[516]
will and how the congress react to this will
[518]
they create a new action item or pass a bill that's going to limit
[521]
the president's executive order we all have to watch so that means you got to
