The $600 Federal Unemployment Boost Ends July 31st

The CARES Act provided an additional $600 per week of unemployment benefits to Americans who were eligible after losing their job due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

While this has been a lifeline for millions, it is set to end on July 31st, leaving many without a job and without sufficient income.
