According to the AP the Washington State legislature is set to increase the unemployment insurance payouts to thousands of Washingtonians.
The bill would boost the minimum weekly benefit amount from $129 to $155, and all unemployed workers would receive an additional $45 a week.
That makes the minimum payment $200 per week, and the maximum $586.
The temporary increases would take effect May 3 and end with claims filed on or before Jan. 3, 2010.
