Posted by Some Republican governors have decided Americans make too much from expanded unemployment benefits. After a surprisingly dismal jobs report, they re moving to end federal jobless aid early. That also includes eliminating programs benefiting gig workers, freelancers, and the long-term unemployed. Brynn Anderson/AP Gov. Kay Ivey announced on Monday that the state was halting its participation in federal unemployment benefits starting June 19. Those include the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance Program for gig workers and Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation for the long-term unemployed.
