What’s next for Americans who may have received their last unemployment-insurance checks that included an extra $600 a week? Senate Republicans unveiled a new stimulus package on Monday -- but it may take months to implement.
What’s next for Americans who may have received their last unemployment-insurance checks that included the extra $600 a week from the CARES Act?On Monday, Senate Republicans unveiled a new stimulus package, dubbed the Health, Economic Assistance, Liability Protection and Schools Act, or HEALS Act, that calls for implementing supplemental weekly unemployment benefits equal to 70% of a workers’ prior wages with a $500 cap.
Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia said, “the great majority [of states] indicated they can get this done within eight weeks.” States can apply for a waiver from the Department of Labor “if they’re not able to achieve it” within eight weeks, he said in a CNBC interview on Tuesday.The HEALS Act would allocate some $2 billion for state workforce agencies to upgrade their computer processing systems.
Unlike traditional salaried workers, self-employed and gig workers often have volatile incomes that are not automatically reported to state workforce agencies.Therefore, state workforce agencies “would have to request that information from an applicant from their 1099 tax form,” Vroman said. But many states like Florida are already struggling with processing jobless claims in a timely manner. As a result, more than 55,000 Floridians who were eligible missed out on the $600 a week boost in unemployment benefits, CNBC reported.
