Since the pandemic Atira Moten has had her hours cut from her remote job with a medical records company to the point where her car has been repossessed and she soon could be evicted from her home.
“I’m to the point now where I have to prioritize whether I’m going to feed my children or pay my bills,” she said.
With two children, 11 and 3, Moten had hoped to receive unemployment help from the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity but a benefits denial from 2019 unemployment dispute has blocked thousands of dollars in state and federal benefits she is entitled to.
