At odds with boss, some Biden aides privately alarmed as millions of workers head over jobless benefits cliff

Anticipating a backlash to the program's expiration, the Biden administration two weeks ago said states could on their own extend the jobless benefits using leftover state aid from Biden's stimulus bill in March. Not a single state appears likely to do so, at least as of Friday. As a result, roughly 10 million people are set to lose some unemployment benefits today, including 7 million people who will lose all benefits.
