What unemployment benefits does the bill include? If the bill is enacted, it would extend two key pandemic unemployment programs through August 29: the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) and the Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) programs. The bill would also increase the supplemental federal weekly jobless benefits to $400 a week, and extend those payments until August 29. ( The stimulus package passed in December included $300 weekly bonus unemployment checks through March 14, though there is an extension to April 5 for some who exhausted their state's unemployment benefits before the expiration date.) How likely is passage of the additional unemployment benefits? Legislation is expected to narrowly pass in the Senate, along party lines.
