Bloomberg Reports: Thousands of $600 Checks Never Made It to Unemployed Americans
Representatives have set out to take away the $600 unemployment checks, which will hurt thousands of already struggling Americans. Meanwhile, thousands of Americans never even received that original $600. More than $100 billion of benefits owed still have not been paid out.
Some out-of-work people have received only part of their promised benefits. Morgan Johnson, a single mother in Pennsylvania, said her extra benefits were halted because of suspected fraud. Calls to state agencies were met with busy signals. She hasn’t been paid in six weeks and, she says, is on the verge of “losing everything.”
From the beginning of March, the Treasury has disbursed approximately $323 billion in unemployment benefits.

Many state unemployment offices are slowly working through the massive amount of unemployment claims. Some have a backlog of millions of applications.
