Trump's proposed $300 federal unemployment boost could leave out up to 1.5 million low-wage workers from receiving jobless benefits
But one element within the memo has raised concerns about its potential to exclude some low-earners. It contains a provision stating that jobless people only qualify for federal aid if they already get at least $100 in state benefits every week.
