California mulls continuing $600 boost for unemployed if Congress cuts

California mulls continuing $600 boost for unemployed if Congress cuts funds
California state lawmakers are considering a plan to continue a $600 weekly unemployment benefit for state residents if Congress does not extend the emergency funding this month.
“We have millions of Californians that are on a financial cliff,” said Phil Ting, a Democratic state lawmaker from San Francisco. “They really need that money to pay rent, to buy food, to pay for everyday living expenses.”
Cuts in federal emergency assistance would probably put more California residents in danger of losing housing, and could make California’s homelessness crisis even worse, Ting said.
“The number one way you prevent the spread of Covid is you keep people in their homes,” he said.
As coronavirus cases rise, and the number of confirmed deaths nationwide reaches 150,000, Congress is debating whether to extend a $600 weekly payment to supplement state unemployment benefits. In California, those benefits average a little more than $300 a week. The extra federal dollars, experts say, are providing critical assistance to millions of Americans who have lost their jobs.
But the additional payment, approved as a temporary emergency measure in March, expires this month.
Congressional Republicans have proposed reducing the additional federal benefit to a $200 a week, arguing that providing Americans with more emergency support is discouraging them from returning to work. Democratic congressional leaders called the Republican plan “totally inadequate”, as well as “hard-hearted” and “cruel”. House Democrats passed a bill that would extend the full $600 payments through January.
“We’re nowhere close to a deal,” Mark Meadows, Trump’s chief of staff, said after a meeting with Democrats on Wednesday, meaning that the additional federal unemployment insurance program will expire on Friday, Politico reported. Because of how the original legislation was written, the additional emergency payments actually ended a week earlier.

Wonder where they get the money to pay for all these spendings?
Nào giờ tui hay ganh tị với mấy đứa nhân viên khác ở CA bao giờ cũng được benefits nhiều hơn những tiểu bang hết. Hồi đó Gà có nhỏ staff xin move đi CA vì chồng chuyển job. Gà đồng ý cho nó work remotely vì thấy nó cũng work hard. Nó move sang đó thì HR nói bây giờ phải cho nó nhiều vacation hơn bởi vì luật bên đó có nhiều vacation hơn. Rồi 0 limit carryover balance như ở những tiểu bang khác upto 80 hours only.
Nói chung thì CA employees always have more benefits than the rest of us! I hate Californians!
