Expanded unemployment payouts expired in 49 states on Saturday, and in New York on Sunday.
One GOP proposal calls for tying the payouts to 70% of a person’s lost wages, which is much harder for states to calculate than a flat rate.sent to lawmakers, the National Association of State Workforce Agencies said it would take most states eight to 20 weeks to transition to a system that paid unemployed Americans on a sliding scale.
The group said it preferred that Congress would maintain a flat rate payout, but if it decides to switch to sliding scale benefits, it should set the effective date"in the future with sufficient time for programming.” During negotiations over the first round of relief in March, Congress considered tying benefits to a worker’s previous prior income but scrapped the idea after Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia raised concerns about the ability of state unemployment systems handling such requests.
