Termination of CARES Act Pandemic Unemployment Benefits and Fund Rescission
This bill formally ends all remaining federal unemployment benefit programs established under the CARES Act, including PUA, FPUC, and PEUC. Thirty days after enactment, all payments under these specific pandemic programs will cease, and unspent federal funds allocated for them will be returned to the Treasury. This action definitively closes access to these special forms of financial support for citizens.
