Expanded Coronavirus Unemployment Benefits In The CARES Act
Unemployment benefits programs are generally run by individual states. However, in times of economic uncertainty, the federal government may step in and offer expanded benefits. We last saw this during the Great Recession in 2008-2009. The coronavirus crisis is another example of the government stepping in to expend unemployment benefits. The CARES Act improved unemployment benefits in the following ways: It provides an additional $600 per week in benefits and payments through July 31, 2020. It adds an additional 13 weeks of benefits through December 31, 2020. Most states currently offer 26 weeks of unemployment benefits (see the unemployment benefits by state section below).
