DH just started a new job at a more large-ish big box

[Backseat Driver]

store; he going on 74 years old. WTH is this stuff about auto-enrolling in a heavy-handed(?) mandated employee savings plan in the Infrastructure Bill and also having the normal deductions being taken out for FICA and state/local/regional taxes when this job just supplements our SS so we can pay our bills?
He had been working a 40 hr week elsewhere that instantly got cut to 24 hrs earlier in Sept and has not yet even received a correct final paycheck nor funds he would have been entitled to under a corporate policy re mandated store closure because of another employee's CoVid exposure to whom he had not been exposed. The temporary manager didn't feel like scheduling nor doing the payroll--so just didn't so we're going into a broken 3 wk cash-flow situation...as we get set up for DD and a regular FT work schedule at the new place with which his hourly is a great deal more. Sounds like a bunch of GOP misinformation for fright purposes, no?

I sure hope they're kidding about perhaps SS could be delayed next month if the funds are okayed for keeping the government alive - we pay rent out of DH's; it's always outside the 3 day "grace" the landlord allows without late fees. With the eviction moratoriums done with, it's getting pretty scary! Bad enough costs for everything going up due to the shipping/logistic backlog/slowdowns.

I can't keep up...you think you got things figured, and then WHAM! The stress of this instability is KILLING me even if I am fully 3 shots vaccinated!!!
