Probably don’t want to go there.Whoever thought of this terrible idea?
We’re not doing it. We don’t want to get into the tax collection business.
I work for the federal government, and yesterday we were told all are doing it (civilian & military) and cannot opt out.
I can't begin to state how I feel about not being allowed to opt out of this stupid crazy plan....
Certainly but interest rates are super low so you probably won't earn much, the point of this was to stimulate the economy but if you have to repay it and it is just sitting in savings accounts then why bother, and unfortunately not everyone is disciplined about their finances or financially literate (particularly younger and lower income workers) and some people will spend this money and when they have to repay it in 2021 they will likely be in a jam.Not sure what my dh's company will be doing but if they actually allow it and we get the extra money, we will be happy to put it away, earn interest on it and then pay back if we need to. Is that not a viable option for others...?
