Expanded unemployment benefits
More than 12 million laid-off Americans could lose their unemployment benefits after this weekend if Trump doesn’t sign the bill. And even if he does, they would likely suffer a break in payments of several weeks.
As part of the historic broadening of jobless benefits under the CARES Act, lawmakers created three programs to help out-of-work Americans. While the $600 payment enhancement lasted only through July, the other two expire just after Christmas.
The Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program allows independent contractors, the self-employed and gig workers to qualify for payments. It also opens up the program to those who can’t work because of the pandemic, including if they or family members are ill or quarantining or if their children’s schools are closed.
