Ends pandemic unemployment benefits from the CARES Act and takes back unspent funds.
This bill would end several types of unemployment benefits that were created during the pandemic by the CARES Act. About a month after becoming law, payments like Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) and Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) would stop. It would also take back any unspent money set aside for these programs.
Today, the CARES Act allows for various pandemic unemployment benefits, including PUA, FPUC, MEUC, and PEUC, and provides money for them. States can also make agreements to distribute these benefits. If this bill becomes law, about 30 days later, most of these pandemic unemployment benefits would stop, states would be blocked from making new agreements for FPUC/MEUC, and any unspent money for these programs would be taken back.
