Bring the fourth SEISS grant payment forward to March

Closed 331 signatures

What the petition asks

The government must scrap the plan to pay the fourth SEISS grant in early May and arrange for payment in March to allow hundreds of thousands of self employed people to pay their rent, support their families and stay afloat
Self employed people have been waiting desperately for details on the fourth SEISS grant. The last grant was paid in November/early December. If the plans to pay the fourth grant in early May go ahead, that will be five months without any government support, a stark and unfair contrast to the uninterrupted furlough scheme. We desperately need help NOW not in two months time.
