CRAAP test: This source is current, it is relevant, because it covers unemployment and stimulus money to help people to not worry about food. It is written accurately and with purpose. Also it has many statistical numbers to help back up the facts in it giving it authority.

Summary:

This document does an in-depth view of how the Corona virus has affected households nationwide. This source looks at statistics of income pre and post coronavirus, it looks at how people spend their money and what portion goes to what, and also covers a wide variety of statistical impacts on households. This document takes into account the education level of different households as well as children, race, health factors, and much more.

3 quotes:

“For example, 46.4% of households affected by such an employment shock

contain a respondent who attained a high school degree or less, whereas 21.2% contain a

respondent who holds a bachelor's degree or more.”

“We find that unemployment due to a firm closure increases the likelihood

of a household-level employment income loss by 47.3 percentage points or 107% relative to the overall sample mean.”

“Compared with households with

an employed respondent, we find that households' total food spending is 15.0% lower, likeli-

hood of free food receipt is 35.7% higher, likelihood of being food sufficient is 9.5% lower, and

likelihood of being at least moderately confident about being able to afford needed foods in the future is 21.0% lower among households with a respondent who is unemployed due to a firm closure.”

CRAAP test: This source is current, and covers a wide spectrum of issues caused by the Corona virus including money and funding, which is relevant. It serves its purpose of spreading information well, and it also uses lots of facts and figures.

Summary: In this article, it was set up as a question and answer, designed to help people who had questions about whether or not they are eligible for stimulus money or the unemployment benefits. This article has many interesting things that I had not even considered  covered and it uses many different ways to answer them. The facts are very black and white, and there is no miscommunication, you are either eligible or not, and that is great for our documents we will be writing.

3 Quotes:

“Most adults will get $1,200, although some would get less. For every qualifying child age 16 or under, the payment will be an additional $500.”

“Those who are unemployed, are partly unemployed or cannot work for a wide variety of coronavirus-related reasons will be more likely to receive benefits.”

“If you rely on a school, a day care or another facility to care for a child, elderly parent or another household member so that you can work — and that facility has been shut down because of coronavirus — you are eligible.”
