Trump Orders $400-per-week Unemployment Payment Amid Covid19 Crises

President Trump signed four executive orders Saturday aimed at delivering relief to Americans struggling with the economic fallout of the coronavirus while accusing Democrats of stonewalling greater aid efforts.⁣

Trump announced a $400-per-week supplemental unemployment payment to out-of-work Americans — short of the $600 weekly benefit that expired at the end of July. He unveiled an extension of student loan relief and protections from evictions for renters and homeowners.
Trump also signed a payroll tax holiday to Americans earning less than $100,000 through the end of the year, while promising more relief if he wins a second term.⁣
