Калифорния объявила дефолт:

After COVID-19 struck in March 2020, 22 states took federal unemployment loans. But by the end of 2022, all but four of these states had repaid their federal debts. Illinois cleared its balance in January 2023, leaving only Connecticut, New York and California on the hook.

To repay the loan, the federal government is now charging California employers $42 extra unemployment tax per employee this year. It will ramp up the extra tax by an additional $21 each year until the balance is zeroed out. The Legislative Analyst expects the loan to be fully paid off in 2029 or 2030, unless another recession hits the state in the interim.
