Kathleen Pender: How the new federal stimulus bill will help unemployed Californians [San Francisco Chronicle]
Dec. 22 The new coronavirus relief bill Congress was expected to approve Monday night will extend through March 14 federal unemployment benefits that had been set to expire Dec. 26, add $300 a week to all federal and state unemployment benefits for up to 11 weeks, and provide an extra $100 a week to some “mixed-income” workers who had earnings from employee wages and self-employment.
Some people in California could end up receiving as many as 70 weeks of regular unemployment benefits, including weeks already received, if Congress passes and President Trump signs the bill. Those receiving federal Pandemic Unemployment Assistance could receive up to 50 weeks.
Another dose of relief is finally on the way for the millions of Americans facing financial distress because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Congress on Monday night passed an economic relief package that will provide a round of $600 stimulus payments to most Americans and partly restore the enhanced federal unemployment benefit, offering $300 for 11 weeks. The agreement also contains provisions related to student loans, rental assistance and medical bills.
The legislation, which is 5,600 pages long, would provide welcome, albeit temporary, assistance to many. How quickly the money reaches your pocket will depend on several factors, though.
Hereâs a closer look at what the legislative package will mean for you. This article will be updated as more details from the measure become available.
