Iowa next month will stop offering unemployment benefits worth hundreds of dollars a week for people without a job, Gov. Kim Reynolds announced Tuesday, although Congress had approved the additional pandemic jobless aid through September.
Starting June 12, Iowans will no longer be able to receive Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation, Pandemic Unemployment Assistance, Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation or Mixed Earners Unemployment Compensation. The first program added $300 a week in aid beyond the usual state jobless benefits. Other federal programs lengthened the number of weeks people would be eligible and extended aid to people who otherwise would not qualify, such as freelancers. The programs do not expire nationally until Sept. 4.
