Federal Supplemental Unemployment Compensation

Federal Supplemental Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) is a temporary federal program that provides additional financial support to individuals receiving unemployment benefits. During periods of high unemployment, it adds extra weekly payments on top of state unemployment benefits, helping workers who are unemployed find stability while seeking new employment. This assistance aims to boost income during economic downturns and ensure workers can cover essential needs until they return to work. FPUC is typically enacted during national emergencies or recessions and is funded by the federal government.
