Explanation:
The Recovery Act created a new Federal Additional Compensation (FAC) program, which provides a 100 percent federally-funded $25 add-on to all weekly UI payments. Jobless workers can enter the FAC program until January 1, 2010, and can continue to receive benefits until June 30, 2010. All states signed agreements to pay FAC effective February 22, 2009-the first week for which FAC was payable.
Despite being a technical challenge for states, every state has begun making FAC payments.
