The most recent stimulus bill included expanded federal unemployment benefits of $300 per week for those still out of a job.

But how long will the benefits last?

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the benefits will continue for 25 weeks. Which means they would end on September 6th, unless they are extended yet again.

The benefits include both $300 per week in unemployment benefits and $100 per week in Mixed Earner Unemployment Compensation; a benefit aimed at freelance or 'gig workers'.
