Ask HN: Personal Finance Tips During Covid-19
The economic fallout from COVID-19 has led to mass layoffs, hiring freezes and personal financial strain for many. I recently found out about the PUA program which allows business owners, self-employed, independent contractors and others not traditionally covered under unemployment assistance to receive assistance [1]. Additionally, it may be advantageous for some to convert any pre-tax retirement accounts to post-tax if you expect to fall in a lower tax bracket for this year (due to layoffs, etc).
