The Maine state government announced it would be offering $1,500 payments to residents who begin working between June 15-30 in an effort to incentivise residents currently receiving unemployment benefits to return to work.
The state government said the payments, which are part of their “Back to Work” program, will be administered by the Maine Department of Labor and the Department of Economic and Community Development.
On top of the $1,500 payment, residents returning to the workforce in June will be eligible for an additional $1,000 payment, according to the Bangor Daily News.
The program, which operates on a first-come, first-serve basis and has the potential to impact up to 7,500 Maine residents, will use $10 million of federal funds.

How many more of these genius left wing policies are we going to have to contend with??? Isn’t Joe Biden’s attempts at destruction of the country enough???
It’s very simple….EVERYONE on unemployment is given 6 weeks to GET A JOB! After 6 weeks, the unemployment checks stop being distributed. Period!
AMEN!!!!!!!
