The Daily Money
 
Wednesday, June 17

Welcome to Wednesday, Daily Money readers. It's David here, with our top personal finance and tech stories of the day.

The social reverberations spawned by George Floyd protests are rippling out to supermarket shelves. And America's laid-off workers could face unwelcome changes when they open their unemployment checks next month. Let's begin.

Aunt Jemima brand on Wednesday said it is changing its name and removing the namesake Black character from its packaging, saying it's "based on a racial stereotype." Uncle Ben's is making changes too. 

While the CARES Act directed an extra $600 a week in jobless benefits to help out-of-work Americans weather business shutdowns, those additional benefits expire July 31. Here's how to prepare. 

Going-out-of-business sales at 136 closing J.C. Penney stores begin Wednesday, the department store chain announced. The discounts range from 25% to 40% off original prices storewide. All sales will be final starting on June 25.
