April 9 (Reuters) - DoorDash Inc said on Thursday it would cut commissions by half for its more than 150,000 local restaurant partners in the United States, Canada, and Australia, as the new coronavirus outbreak stops people from dining out.

The $100 million commission relief program will begin on April 13 and continue through the end of May, the food delivery startup said.

Restaurants need the financial relief. They face an expected drop in diners as governments impose restrictions to curb the spread of the outbreak. Read the rest of the article here...

“I want to provide an update to people who receive benefits from the Social Security Administration.

The Department of the Treasury (Treasury) announced on April 1 that Social Security beneficiaries who are not typically required to file tax returns will not need to file an abbreviated tax return to receive an economic impact payment.

The IRS will use the information on the Form SSA-1099 to generate $1,200 economic impact payments to Social Security beneficiaries who did not file tax returns in 2018 or 2019.

Treasury, not Social Security, will make automatic payments to Social Security beneficiaries. Beneficiaries will receive these payments by direct deposit or by paper check, just as they would normally receive their Social Security benefits.

For updates from the IRS, visit www.irs.gov/coronavirus.

Note for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Recipients: We are working closely with Treasury to address outstanding questions about our SSI recipients in an attempt to make the issuance of economic impact payments as quick and efficient as possible. We realize people are concerned, and the IRS will provide additional information at www.irs.gov/coronavirus when available. Please note that we will not consider economic impact payments as income for SSI recipients, and the payments are excluded from resources for 12 months.

We will continue to update Social Security’s COVID-19 web page at www.socialsecurity.gov/coronavirus/ as further details become available.”

J O I N T H E P A C H A C O M M U N I T Y F O R 3 0 M IN U T E S O F MEDITATION ON ZOOM Mondays 12:30 PM, Tuesdays 7:30 PM, and Saturdays 10:00 AM

If anyone you know is experiencing furlough or layoff from work, please don’t let that stop them from registering for practice. All are welcome, nobody will be denied participation.

We need this practice more than ever.

We are receiving donations via VENMO and/or PayPal. Pay what you feel/can, every penny counts to help keep the center operational. If you prefer, you could also send a check to Pacha's shipping address: 393 Ringwood Ave. Wanaque NJ 07465.
