WHAT ARE SUPPLEMENTAL UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS, WHY DO PEOPLE USE THEM?

After being laid off, many people can have trouble with their finances while looking for new employment and find themselves drowning in credit card debt, car loans, mortgage payments and other monthly payments while they are unemployed. This can be an incredibly difficult and financially devastating situation for many people. This is where Supplemental Unemployment Benefits (SUB) come into play — they offer a financial bridge for those experiencing financial difficulties due to underemployment and unemployment.
