Unemployment aid given to Vermont through the federally-funded Extended Benefits program will end after this week, Vermont s Department of Labor has announced.
The federal government established the benefits program due to job losses suffered during the COVID-19 pandemic and an increase in unemployment claim filings.
The U.S. Department of Labor notified Vermont officials late last weekend that the state s unemployed population had dropped below the threshold needed to receive extended unemployment benefits. As a result, this week will be the final week that benefits through the program will be available.
