This interview originally aired on In the Moment on SDPB Radio.

In 2020, the doors temporarily opened for more people to receive unemployment benefits. Did people receive benefits longer than they should have?

We talk with Amanda Michaud, a senior research economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. Her research explored how people who would usually be ineligible for benefits responded to the conditions and incentives of unemployment.

Learn more about Michaud's research.
