A long, sometimes agonizing wait for federal unemployment payments to restart in Colorado came to an end for another 135,000 people over the last four days. Carrying out Phase 2 of its months-long rollout of the extended Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) and Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) programs, the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment reopened its filing system Saturday to people who had used all of their federal benefits before Congress funded them for an additional 11 weeks.
