If inflation is running high, the Fed will raise interest rates, sell bonds on the open market, and raise the reserve ratio (if it comes to that. It rarely ever does). Raising interest rates makes money "rare." Selling bonds decreases the reserves of banks, which decreases their lending capabilities (again, making money more rare). The reserve ration is the "nuclear option" of monetary policy. It specifically changes how much money banks have to keep on hand. If it changes, the money multiplier changes. In other words, the Fed would raise the reserve ratio in order to fight inflation.

What is difference of fed-ed extension and regular unemployment extension?

Fed-Ed extension, or Federal Additional Compensation, is a program that provides extended unemployment benefits during periods of high unemployment, specifically in states with elevated jobless rates. In contrast, regular unemployment extensions typically refer to extensions offered by state unemployment insurance programs, allowing individuals to receive benefits beyond the standard duration based on state laws. While both aim to support unemployed individuals, Fed-Ed extensions are federally funded and tied to specific unemployment conditions, whereas regular extensions vary by state and are based on individual eligibility.

Can federal employees draw unemployment benefits when they retire?

In most cases federal employees cannot collect unemloyment. The reason for this that they cannot be fired at will. Due to the nature of their labor agreement they can only be fired for gross neglect of job responsibilties which would void any unemployment claim. If an employee of the federal government is laid off or their job is eliminated they may qualify for unemployment based on the requirements in their state. Fed employees are employed at will, and can be fired at will while on probation and fired for cause after probation. ALmost no fed employees have labor agreements. Labor agreement cannot void statutes about unemployment - no contract can violate a statute. No one who retires qualifies for uI benefits, RESERVED for folks actively seeking employment, which no retiree does.
