What happens to the benefits of unemployment insurance once they run out?

Once the benefits of unemployment insurance run out, they simply stop until the individual finds a job. Unemployment insurance is designed to provide financial support to individuals who are temporarily unemployed through no fault of their own, but these benefits are time-limited. Once the designated benefit period ends, the individual no longer receives those payments.

This policy is intended to encourage individuals to actively seek employment, as the assistance is not meant to be a long-term substitute for income. The cessation of benefits also serves to incentivize job-seeking behavior, aligning with the objective of getting unemployed individuals back into the workforce.
