WASHINGTON—Congressman Dan Kildee (MI-05), Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (CA-12), Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard E. Neal (MA-01) and Worker and Family Support Subcommittee Chairman Danny K. Davis (IL-07) will hold a press conference on Friday, July 24, 2020, at 1 p.m. ET on Capitol Hill to discuss the need to extend enhanced federal unemployment insurance.
Without action soon by the President and Senate Republicans, the $600/week federal UI benefit for over 25 million Americans is set to expire at the end of July.

Earlier this month, Kildee, Davis and members of the House Democratic Caucus sent a letter to the President, urging his administration to take up the House-passed bill and extend federal unemployment insurance.
