Little Support Two Senate Democrats, Tom Carper of Delaware and Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, said even before the employment figures that expanded jobless benefits, at least, would come to an end. “I think we’re going to allow the $300 weekly supplement to expire," Carper said.
Asked whether there’s appetite for another extension, Shaheen said, “I can tell you in New Hampshire that there’s not." On a unilateral basis, the Biden administration can likely only extend the pause on student loan payments.
Congress would have to act on unemployment benefits and food stamps, and the Supreme Court has signaled further extensions of the evictions ban will also require legislation.
