Analyzed Economic Effects

End of pandemic unemployment benefits

If enacted, this bill would end most pandemic-era federal unemployment payments. Starting 30 days after enactment, it would terminate Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA), repeal key PEUC rules, and stop most FPUC and MEUC emergency increases. The government would also rescind unobligated federal funds that were set aside for those programs, effective 30 days after enactment. States would still be able to receive limited federal payments to cover certain administrative costs during a short transition.
