Summary
For those currently on extended benefits, it could take three to four weeks before they receive the extra $300, according to Pancotti.With Congress set to pass an extension of the programs, states will have to wait for the Labor Department to issue guidance before sending out payments, which could prove challenging during the holidays.It could take states a few weeks to restart the weekly jobless supplements, unemployment experts say, an issue that happened in the spring when it took many states more than a month to roll out the extra $600 weekly benefit in the spring, which ended in late July.States also faced weeks of delays in August when President Donald Trump extended the bonus to $300 a week for roughly six weeks for most workers.
