Quick reminder that the federal pandemic unemployment compensation for $600/week is officially scheduled to conclude on July 31st; however, it will be paid for weeks ending no later than the week prior. For all states except NY, that means it will be Saturday, July 25th. Some states are proactively sending out notifications to warn recipients at least 2 weeks prior to the cutoff while others may not as it is not a mandatory requirement.
