Seven more weeks of unemployment benefits in California’s new budget plan...

"Millions of unemployed Californians could wind up with more weeks of jobless benefits as part of the budget deal Gov. Gavin Newsom and legislative leaders reached this week."

"The state legislation would authorize up to seven extra weeks of federally-funded emergency benefits, for a total of 20 weeks, if the state’s unemployment rate reaches a certain level considered the “high unemployment period” in the bill."

"That level would be hit if the average total unemployment rate reaches 8 percent for the most recent three months as determined by the U.S. Department of Labor, as well as other criteria."
