Americans are 'losing' $600 of weekly unemployment but many still can’t find work

The $600 weekly unemployment boost lapsed this weekend after lawmakers failed to extend the aid.

Cindy Pineda and Kacey Levesque, two accountants from Florida, will get just $275 a week in state jobless benefits without the federal subsidy.

They’ve had a tough time finding new jobs, putting them in a difficult financial position.

Cindy Pineda was the breadwinner of her family before the coronavirus pandemic hit.

But Pineda, 60, lost her accounting job in early April. And her husband, an hourly worker who does fiber-optic cabling, has been getting just two or three days of work per week.

Unemployment benefits have been keeping the family, who live in Davenport, Florida, afloat.

That’s largely due to a $600 weekly supplement to state unemployment checks. But that federal subsidy ended Saturday, leaving the family with $275 a week ($1,100 a month), too little to cover the mortgage and other bills.

Even with the enhancement, her pay is much less than it had been at work.
