The Daily Money 1-6-20

Happy Hump Day, Daily Money readers! The weekend is in sight. Brett Molina returns with your Wednesday headlines in Money and Tech.

Let's start with a question on many Americans' minds in the new year: when will that extra $300 in unemployment benefits kick in?

Meanwhile, bad news for some Americans who are waiting for a second stimulus payment: it might not arrive until after tax time.

Brace yourselves for more store closings on the horizon. Bed Bath & Beyond revealed it's shutting down another 43 locations, while Macy's is expected to close more stores by the middle of the year.

Let's wrap up on a lighter note. We have a new chicken sandwich. Thank you, Shake Shack.
