WASHINGTON - Nearly a third of U.S. households receiving unemployment benefits are struggling to cover routine expenses such as food, housing and medical treatment, according a survey published by the Commerce Department’s Census Bureau on Tuesday.
About one in 10 households reported using unemployment checks to meet spending needs during the survey period. At least 18 million Americans are receiving unemployment benefits, with the federal government providing some of the funding. Regular state unemployment benefits averaged about $346 per week in January. The federal government is paying out a weekly subsidy of $300. It is also funding a program for the self-employed, gig workers and others who do not qualify for state benefits, as well as those who have exhausted their eligibility for such aid, which is limited to 26 weeks in most states.
