Rejected petition Bring the 4th SEISS grant application date forward for self-employed.
The budget was announced today with the long anticipated and delayed announcement about the next SEISS grant.
The application process will only start late April to cover the months of February to April which is a huge survival challenge for most of us.
More details
Late April for a grant covering the 3 previous months? How are people supposed to survive until then especially since most of us used the previous grant to pay our taxes.
From the information gathered most of self-employed need that money as soon as possible as March has already started and there has been no prospect of income since November.
This process needs to be sped up like the previous applications.
In November we obtained our payment by the end of the month.
