Some workers got an extra $300 in unemployment benefits this week. That aid will start flowing to others in coming days, but thousands of out-of-work Americans won’t ever see the assistance.
The share is highest in Utah, at about 6%, Tedeschi said. There were nearly 58,000 workers collecting unemployment insurance in the state as of Aug. 1, according to the U.S. Labor Department.States pay unemployment benefits within a range of maximum and minimum weekly payments, which vary from state to state.
Most set minimums below $100 a week. That's why thousands won't meet the Trump administration's $100-a-week threshold.Those getting the minimum benefit tend to be low-wage or part-time workers. These people are more likely than others to have less savings to fall back on and took the biggest financial hit when a prior $600-a-week federal supplement expired at the end of July, Tedeschi said.
This program, created in March by a federal relief measure, offers unemployment benefits to previously ineligible groups like the self-employed, gig, freelance and contract workers, among others.Workers getting PUA benefits in Alaska, for example, won't be eligible for the new federal benefit, Cathy Munoz, deputy commissioner of the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development, said in an e-mail.
Alaska officials planned to submit an application to FEMA on Wednesday for the lost wages assistance, she said.
