It costs NY nothing. The 100 was revised. It is now covered if the state is providing 100 of regular unemployment. He is hurting New Yorkers. His leadership killed the elderly, caused business to close, and now depriving unemployed New Yorkers of 300 a week.
Ok — then NY is stupid to turn this down. However, even for those states that are approved, it looks like the date when checks can go out is mainly TBD with the earliest being Arizona in late September. I still think this game of political chicken can backfire pretty badly and there will be egg on every one’s face. This is not a winning issue for Republicans or Democrats. Hope sanity prevails soon.
Arizona’s max unemployment is $240/week, the second lowest in the nation. However, our minimum is something like $190/week, the second highest in the nation. Therefore, we are receiving over $100 minimum so we qualify for the extra $300. Some states pay a lot more max but only pay like $20 minimum, so they’re screwed when it comes to this latest federal assistance program.
