美國國會未達成協(xié)議,每周600美元的失業(yè)救濟金將停止發(fā)放
本周一,,美國參議院共和黨議員提議在接下來的兩個月里,,將每周的失業(yè)救濟金從600美元下調(diào)至200美元。此后,,該失業(yè)金將定為工人以前工資的70%,。
但是民主黨人并不打算減少這個數(shù)額。周三,,關于下一個經(jīng)濟刺激法案的談判,,其中包括增加失業(yè)救濟金的談判,也未達成協(xié)議,。
白宮辦公廳主任馬克?梅多斯在周三與參眾兩院民主黨領袖開會后說:“我們還遠沒有達成協(xié)議……這意味著失業(yè)保險條款即將到期,。”
目前正在領取失業(yè)救濟金的美國失業(yè)者有3,140萬人,他們將在本周失去每周600美元的額外失業(yè)補助,。
如今還不能保證會有新的補助代替這600美元,。梅多斯在周三表示,“談判時間越長,,達成協(xié)議的可能性就越大?!?
經(jīng)濟學家告訴《財富》雜志,,在沒有替代方案的情況下,將每周600美元的失業(yè)救濟金完全停止發(fā)放,,可能會使經(jīng)濟重新陷入危機,。因為該救助每月向家庭提供約500億美元,阻止了美國消費支出的進一步萎縮,。
由民主黨主導的美國眾議院通過了《英雄法案》(Heroes Act),,該法案將把每周600美元的額外失業(yè)救濟補助延長至2021年1月。目前還不清楚民主黨愿意削減多少失業(yè)補助,。
目前,,每周領取600美元救濟金的美國失業(yè)者包括各州失業(yè)登記冊上的1,730萬人,同時也有1,320萬人通過疫情期間失業(yè)援助,、940,113人通過緊急失業(yè)補償?shù)玫搅司葷?。在失業(yè)救濟金到期前,共有3,140萬美國人領取了600美元的額外救助,。(財富中文網(wǎng))

On Monday Senate Republicans rolled out their plan to reduce the unemployment benefit bonus—which is paid on top of state benefits—from $600 to $200 per week for the next two months. After that period, the benefit would transition into covering 70% of the unemployed persons' previous income through the end of the year.
But Democrats aren't onboard with reducing the benefit by that amount. And on Wednesday the negotiations on the next stimulus bill, which include the enhanced unemployment benefits, hit a partisan wall.
"We’re nowhere close to a deal ... It means enhanced unemployment insurance provisions will expire," said White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows after an unproductive Wednesday meeting with Democratic Senate and House leaders.
That means that the 31.4 million jobless Americans who are currently receiving the enhanced benefit will go without the $600 benefit this week. The final $600 weekly federal unemployment benefit was for the week ending July 25.
And there is no guarantee the $600 will get replaced. “No deal certainly becomes a greater possibility the longer these negotiations take," Meadows said Wednesday.
Economists have told Fortune that allowing the $600 benefit to completely phase-out without a replacement could pull the economy back into a recession. The reason? The benefit was paying out around $50 billion per month to households, which prevented deeper contractions in consumer spending—something that makes up two-thirds of the U.S. economy.
Democrats have reassured unemployed Americans this week that they would not support cutting the weekly benefit from $600 to $200. The Heroes Act passed by House Democrats would’ve extended the $600 weekly benefit into January 2021. It's unclear by what amount Democrats would be willing to reduce the benefit.
Americans receiving the $600 weekly benefit include the 17.3 million Americans on state unemployment rolls. But there are also 13.2 million getting it through Pandemic Unemployment Assistance benefits, and the 940,113 on Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation. In all 31.4 million Americans were receiving the $600 bonus before it expired.
