White House Says $400 Weekly Unemployment Benefits Will Start Soon

White House economic advisor Larry Kudlow says federal unemployment benefits will be returning soon.

On Tuesday, Kudlow said the benefits would pay roughly $400 per week as a median, and start up in about two weeks.

Unemployment benefits have been a major sticking point for Congress on the next coronavirus relief bill.  House Democrats want to extend the $600 per week benefits that expired in July, while Senate Republicans want to cut them down to $200 per week.
