So you take $100 in relief already received and get back $400 - that’s a no brainer ...

Pay $100 and get back $300...
Still, a no-brainer.
Heck, there’s likely unspent money from the last covid bill for this- and more.

Whatever happened to the $1200 per adult? I haven’t heard that mentioned in a while.

[mrsmith]

My apologies, you stated it correctly.

Fun part is how Trump boxed the Libtards into a deal for Corona.

States can 25% of the $400 for their citizens and if they want to increase those benefits to Oh, I don’t know, ($600) then the Feds will cover 75% of that.

They can’t say no to $400 and maybe not $600 and litigating the whole thing is a No Va

So, they lost again and Team Trump gets to crow about it til Nov 3 and again in January when he extends it further....

“ Washington is among the most generous states, along with Massachusetts at $518.”

.......generous......
Good lord these asshats are kind to themselves.
It’s because wages are higher because it’s so Fn expensive to live here.

How hard can it be to reprogram a system to pay out $400 payments to a group of people who had been getting $600?

[aimhigh]

states would pay 25% of the cost of the new unemployment benefit. The federal government, which had paid for the entire $600 benefit, would pay the rest.

I'm not sure how Trump's order has a legal basis to require states to pay anything.
