Yes, they shoukd. Trump did this to stop massive evictions, student loan defaults, and to help those who have permanently lost jobs get by. But, the payroll tax deferrals will get some businesses to hire and some people to go back to working.

What does the EO do to get that extra payment out? From what Trump said he’s requiring states to pay 25% of that extra payment. So that’s definitely not an extension of the unemployment enhancement that was in place. This is a new program that requires state financial support or the unemployed of that state will not receive that extra pay. That’s not a small thing and could easily take months to mobilize. How is that going to help people now?
