With expanded unemployment insurance set to expire at the end of the month, two former chairs of the Federal Reserve urged lawmakers to renew the emergency benefits created in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic. “I think, frankly, it would be a catastrophe not to extend unemployment insurance,” Janet Yellen told members of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis during a remote hearing on Friday. Currently, many out-of-work men and women are eligible for an additional $600 per week.

ROCHESTER, NEW YORK — In some labor-friendly states like Connecticut and New Jersey, workers are eligible for unemployment insurance when they go on strike. However, in New York, workers are only eligible to apply for unemployment after they’ve already been on strike for seven weeks. In June, though, the New York State legislature passed a bill that would make workers eligible for unemployment insurance after only one week of a strike.
