Why would any state contribute when $300 is free and there is no requirement for paying more?
I would have offered this as the federal payment of $300 only occurs if the state pays $100 and no other option was available. It would have made states pony up money to show they cared and were responsible for getting people off unemployment.
Now, let’s just keep them on unemployment, because unemployment is paid by employers and employees and we get an extra $300 from Uncle Sam.
I heard it’s through the end of the year too. I guess it takes off the table for another round of Dems trying to get more money if President had just done 90 days.
