Federal unemployment benefits have ended for millions of Americans who have been hit hard by the pandemic, leaving many unsure what’s next.
The federal unemployment payments of $300 a week that were extended under the American Rescue Plan stimulus package ended Monday for more than 7 million Americans, including about 60,000 Virginians and over 100,000 Marylanders.
It included a few different types of relief, one of them being Pandemic Unemployment Assistance, which helped self-employed workers and freelancers.
