President Trump has signed executive orders including one that will provide $400 in enhanced unemployment benefits to millions of out-of-work Americans. But there’s a catch.

This could create issues with the Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, which includes a program that provides assistance to people who don’t qualify for traditional unemployment, according to Michele Evermore, a senior policy analyst at the National Employment Law Project, a think tank that advocates for labor and employment legislation.

States can’t use their current unemployment insurance infrastructure to pay a benefit that isn’t authorized by Congress, according to Evermore. The language in the memorandum says that these benefits must be paid “in conjunction with the state's unemployment insurance system,” which means that states will have to set up a new way to add these payments to existing benefits, she says.

“It's a difficult proposition for states to implement in a short period of time," says Stettner."States had already struggled to get unemployment money in the hands of out-of-work Americans. This will disappoint workers. They think they’ll get that $400 next week, but they’re not.”

This headline is wrong and misleading. Be better journalists!

It doesn't matter. Its perfectly clear that states don't have the authority to force jobs to close and people to stay home, but they have gotten by with doing just that, in violation of the supreme law of the land, the Constitution of the United States of America.

Y must u the (News) spread fears/lies? If Biden did the same thing, News (loose term) would give him standing ovation. What makes it so hard to change computer generated pmt. from $600 to $400 and states increase their funded Pmt. by $100. Not rocket science! It’s 2020, not 1920.

The wording in his executive order is quite tricky. I don’t think you’re getting what you think you are after listening carefully to it.

Sure there’s a catch. Mainstream media, you’ll never support President on anything he accomplishes. Right unemployement is dropping, more jobs for economy. He’s bringing back manufacturing back ftom China, and stock market is all time high. But you’ll never acknowledge it!

Just read the article. What a clusterfuck.

Even lying trump knows congress controls the purse strings but the kool-aid cult will believe he did something!

There WAS a time when girlfriends were pampered with $400 earrings merely to make em smile!

President EO is illegal is what your head line should be

Its illegal he can’t by pass Congress

? It s unclear whether Congress is the Universal Solution to everything communal in TIME. No one with knowledge of processes has ever inspected those decision procedures, bet a program would go black screen on them (hourglass forever).

Jesus H Christ! Stealing from Peter to pay Paul! No wonder he’s a failed entrepreneur

Someone has to do the job, because the House sure won't.

Well? Congress is trying to sneak in party agenda items. Are they really trying to assist the unemployed Really?

Not worth the paper they are written on, send them over to the toilet paper factory. ExecutiveCryBaby

he so desperate to win - ass hat

He can't do it. Though, the cowards in other branches of government and the media will let him get away with it. He's not enhancing unemployment. He's cutting the CARES act in half. His handlers know he can't do this. They're hoping the media does the usual 'both sides' shit.

There's Always A 'Catch' With Donald Let's Break It Down In Simple Terms In 2016 Donald Bought Electoral Votes Electoral Votes Got Too Expensive Hmm Maybe Our Votes Will Go Cheap He Wants You Desperate Enough To Sell Your Vote CHEAP Amen

The catch?

if people are taking more income from unemployment benefits, maybe they should be paid more to work.

Of course, biased left media gonna carry the Dems water

Yes, the states have to fork out 25%. Not much to ask really, since states have an obligation to help out constituents in hardship time, after all states been collecting their taxes without cessation and so it's just giving them back a fraction of their money.

Trump did everything the left wanted and theyll complain about it.

Worst president in American history.

I'm loss! So are the states going to back pay when the $600 ended! Thank God I'm working!

This is not a truthful headline! As always..he created a disaster!

Nancy and Chuck flew home.

oh 45 u saved us all, i knew negotiations would falter but also i knew ur deal making extraordinaire would be there; praise be, lord! but 45 can i ask one question? it's not the biggest ui, i mean even nancy's was bigger, so...

The “catch” is the Constitution.

A lawsuit will but filed on Monday and an injunction issued. Calm your glucose mammary glands. The 9th circuit will kick it to SCOTUS,....again.

How does it provide $400 when it demands the states pay $100. It provides $300.

LetHerSpeak JoJorgensen2020

I’m still not voting for him 🤣😂🤣😂

What's the catch? If you want your people to have the $1,600 a month, find a way to get it to them. If not, your people won't get the money. If you are against Trump, fight the Order and your people will be in limbo. It's the state's choice.

Except this is meaningless.

There's a huge catch, Congress spends the money. When will GOP Senators have the balls to step up to this gangster?

That face. 🥊

Trump signs coronavirus relief orders after talks with Congress break downPresident Donald Trump signed executive orders on Saturday partly restoring enhanced unemployment payments to the tens of millions of Americans who lost jobs in the coronavirus pandemic, as the United States marked a grim milestone of 5 million cases. I thought Congress had the power ...not the POTUS to allocate money That's it!! Great order! 💰 This is absurdly misleading. Extremely unlikely he has any authority to do any of this. He proposes to cut financial support in half. He also proposes cuts to funding for medicare and social security. For Christ's sake, do better!
