On Saturday morning, the Senate passed the American Rescue Plan Act, and it included another expansion of unemployment benefits.
It was initially slated to be $400 per week until the end of August, but the bill that passed in the Senate contained a whittled-down benefit of $300 per week and will be paid from March 15 to Sept. 6.
