Rejected petition Bring forward the date for SEISS payments.

Bring forward the date of SEISS payments to the end of March to ease the pressure on struggling businesses and to prevent people from losing their business altogether. Some are being made to wait 5/6 months with no income whatsoever. This has a massive impact on families as well as their businesses.

More details

Currently the latest round of SEISS payments are due at the end of April. This means many business owners and their families are struggling to pay business over heads and bills. This struggle will continue for another 2 months. It’s not fair to make people wait for essential funds.
