You can continue to request extensions on this, and eventually you end up talking to "single point of contact" team who are responsible for loss mitigation.

With the gov't announcing $1,200 per person payments, $500 per child, and expanded unemployment benefits, we believed all tenants should still be prioritizing their rents, immediately after food.

My thought is that it helps me hedge more loss than I would normally be exposed to. 

We provide safe and affordable housing to citizens who can't afford to purchase homes themselves.Second only to to food, shelter is important as a basic need that no American should live without.This is why I am writing to you to ask for help in the implementation of emergency changes to the Federal Housing and Urban Renewal Section 8 program.As a landlord I propose the following:The qualification for Section 8 should be opened to all unemployed American receiving unemployment benefits.All Landlords who file a IRS Schedule E are eligible to receive benefits based on properties listed on their Schedule E for 2018 or for any 2019 tax return filed.Section 8 will waive the home inspection and Landlord requirements for the participants  in this emergency program and will not remove the traditional application process for those seeking to participate in the Section 8 program.

I believe the loss of rent would allow me to pull the money out of the account even though my current job where the 403b account is held has not been negatively effected. 

Financial loss.
