Helping Those Harmed Financially from COVID-19

With millions of Americans out of work due to the COVID-19 emergency, it is more important than ever to identify what we can do to help ease their financial burden. There are actions you can take and resources you can access to help consumers now. Join us for a broad overview of how you can (1) advocate for policies in your state to help consumers facing financial hardships due to the COVID-19 emergency (first half) and (2) help consumers navigate and access the financial relief they need during the COVID-19 emergency (second half). We will focus on the following priorities:

• Protecting stimulus payments
• Dealing with car repossessions, including electronic repossessions
• Navigating available mortgage relief and advocating for additional relief
• Ensuring consistent utility and telecommunication access
• Dealing with debt collection efforts
