New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu has announced the further expansion of state unemployment benefits, reports WMUR.
Minimum unemployment benefits in the state will rise from $32 a week to $168 a week. An additional $600 a week will go to unemployed workers through federal funds. Unemployment benefit duration will now extend from 13 weeks to 39. At this time, the process to apply will stay the same, and nothing additional will be required of filers to qualify or get expanded benefits.
New Hampshire will receive $1.25 billion in benefits from legislation President Trump signed last week.
