Eligible unemployment claimants can apply for more money
People collecting unemployment in Florida can now apply for more money. You can get an additional $100 a week through the Mixed Earners Unemployment Compensation (MEUC) program.
You must be considered a mixed earner to be eligible. You must be on another state or federal unemployment program; however, claimants currently collecting federal Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) are not eligible.
Mixed earners must have received at least $5,000 in net income from self-employment for the tax year prior to the initial claim.
Column: Don't leave money directly to your kids
The fact is that most trusts are "vanilla," in the sense that they rely on many assumptions and include pages of presumptive language. Following are some points to seriously consider. For most, it will move you to review your trust and make some changes.
You are probably thinking, "What is he thinking?" With the rarest of exceptions, it makes more sense to leave money to trusts you establish for the benefit of your children rather than leaving assets directly to them. The purpose or goal is to protect inherited assets first for the benefit of your children and then for the benefit of your grandchildren.

15 tips to teach tots and preschoolers about money | Local News | ravallirepublic.com
Young children may not know a nickel from a dime, but they are already learning about money. They hear what you say. They see what you do. They know if it causes fights and stress or if it makes you happy. They see what you spend money on and usually think that if you have a little plastic card, you can magically get anything.
1. Give toddlers choices. Start simply by holding up two cereal boxes or two shirts and ask, "What's your choice?" Whichever they reach for or look at first is what they get. In a store, give them choices like which fruit to buy, which of two toys or books to buy. Sounds silly, but by making choices early they are preparing to make smarter purchases later.
