The Labor Department says unemployed workers won't lose payments due to
the delayed signing of a new COVID relief
bill.
The measure includes a $300 federal boost in weekly payments for workers
collecting unemployment benefits that lasts 11 weeks.
Some lawmakers were
concerned some payments may be missed because of how long it took the bill to
go through.
But the payments are
retroactive to the end of December.
The benefit goes until March
14.
