This is a substantial overestimate for at least two reasons: (1) initial claims for regular state UI and PUA should be nonoverlapping—that is how DOL has directed agencies to report them—but some individuals are erroneously being counted as being in both programs; and (2) some states are including  retroactive payments in their continuing PUA claims, which would also lead to double-counting. Seasonally adjusted data are not available for the other components of the chart. Regular state UI continued claims are for the week ending September 5; regular state UI initial claims are for the week ending September 12. PUA continued claims are for the week ending August 29; PUA initial claims are for the weeks ending September 5 and September 12. “Other programs” are continued claims in other programs for the week ending August 29. Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) is the federal program for workers who are out of work because of the virus but who are not eligible for regular state unemployment insurance (UI) benefits (e.g., the self-employed). “Other programs” includes PEUC, STC, EB, and others; a full list can be found in the bottom panel of the table on page 4 at this link: https://www.dol.gov/ui/data.pdf.
