Application for benefits

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Vera Lindsay said the benefits she's received since the beginning of the pandemic have been a blessing since being out of work. Lindsay works as a bus driver in Guilford County. 

"I was told next Monday, it will be our last $600," Lindsay said.

Lindsay said that money has been cruicial in helping her pay the bills. That federal unemployment supplement is set to expire July 25, leaving Lindsay worried.

"I got a car payment, I got a house payment," Lindsay said.

Students are going back to school on Aug. 17.

One of the scenarios Guilford County Schools has discussed is having them learn remotely for the first several weeks of school. 

If that's the case, Lindsay worries about how she'll find work.

"I’m on disability so I can’t do certain jobs and that was what I could do," Lindsay said.
