I am not from the USA and I read the article to understand a bit more how unemployment benefits work in the US.
I find the title misleading, it's the pandemic $300 per week additional benefit that gets suspended not the whole unemployment benefits people looking for a job are entitled to (Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) program and Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) program).
Correct me if I am wrong.
Now, is the situation back to normal enough to justify it, should those unemployment benefits stay the same, etc. those are all important questions.
- calvano915 5y agoYou are correct. The question is what MT pays for their UI as every state has different amounts and weeks per claim. As to whether the extra $300 should continue, I would be in favor of allowing it for those that can prove they are searching for work and not getting hired. Others not searching or not accepting offers should lose their benefits.
