An executive order Trump signed Saturday calls for an additional $400 in weekly unemployment benefits, but says states would have to pay a quarter of the cost, or $100.

But governors in cash-strapped states complained it would be difficult for them to find the extra money, so the administration looked for a way around that requirement. That means most eligible claimants will get an extra $300 in federal benefits on top of what they already receive from the state.Dems, White House open to deal on COVID-19 relief despite Trump's orders
Trump ordered the extra unemployment benefits after negotiations with congressional leaders collapsed late last week without an agreement on a new relief package to help Americans still suffering from the economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic.
