GET MONEY FASTER! $2000 Unemployment Extension
UPDATE FPUC PUA Unemployment Benefits Rent Assistance
The current tally of states pledging to end their participation in federal extended enhanced unemployment benefits is at 22, and I’m so sorry to all of my viewers in these states
Unfortunately, it does not look like President Biden and his administration will be able to force these states to use these vital disaster relief benefits.
An official from the Labor Department explained: “There is nothing we can do. Taking away their lifeline isn’t going to help anything.”
Senator Bernie Sanders recently tweeted: “Democrats in Congress secured life-saving unemployment aid to workers so they wouldn’t have to go back to work for starvation wages or without childcare.”
He also said that he aims “to ensure Republican governors do not strip that assistance away.”
Hopefully, these states will pay out these vital unemployment benefits until the current September deadline, and let me know in the comments what you think about nearly half the states in America looking to end jobless benefits early.
