This bill, the Back on Your Feet Act of 2020, aims to provide continued support for workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. It extends the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation program through January 31, 2021, with a transition rule to allow individuals who have not exhausted their benefits by that date to continue receiving them. It also extends and phases out the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance and Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation programs. Additionally, the bill creates a "Back on Your Feet Pay" program to provide a one-time $3,600 payment to individuals who lost their eligibility for Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation due to returning to work. The bill also requires states to implement policies ensuring safe return to work and provides emergency grants to states and territories to improve the administration of unemployment claims and benefits.
