Democrats passed a bill extending them in May, but Republicans were unable to agree on their own legislation that would have extended the benefits while also cutting them.
On March 27, President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act into law. The CARES Act included a number of measures meant to support Americans whose livelihoods were affected by the pandemic, including a one-time $1,200 stimulus check for many Americans, $600 per week in enhanced unemployment benefits and eviction protections for tenants who lived in housing with federally backed mortgages.
“I’m in discussion, we all are, with the administration. If we reach a decision along with the administration to move to another phase, that’ll be the time to interact with the Democrats,” McConnell told reporters. “We’re going to insist on doing narrowly targeted legislation if and when we do legislate again.”
Unemployment is generally a problem of not enough jobs, not lazy workers. In May, there were roughly four unemployed Americans for every open job. Last Monday, Senate Republicans proposed their own bill that dropped the weekly benefit to $200, with the intention to transition the amount to 70 percent of the recipient’s regular wages. The measure also included $1.8 billion for a new FBI building and more than $1 billion to purchase military aircraft. Trump, who has dropped his request for a payroll tax cut after GOP objections, called the bill “sort of semi-irrelevant.
