Three states will accept the Trump administrations full enhanced unemployment benefit while the out-of-work in nearly two dozen other states will get $300 a week.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump on Aug. 8<\/a> signed an executive order for a $400 enhanced payment but many governors disparaged the proposed 75-25 split, leading the administration to unveil a second option.<\/p>\n

That alternative<\/a> lets states provide $300 more a week to the unemployed. The money is all from the federal government.<\/p>\n

Twenty-one states have sought and been approved for that option.<\/p>\n

Three others chose the original option, contributing 25 percent and giving unemployed workers the highest dollar amount available.<\/p>\n

\u201cHands down, period, West Virginia is going to pay it,\u201d West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice, a Republican, told reporters earlier this month. \u201cWe do so very willingly.\u201d<\/p>\n

The state contribution will likely come out of money given to West Virginia through the CARES Act, a stimulus aimed at providing relief from pandemic-related downturns, that was set aside and not used.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile there is still some uncertainty in this new program, it is just too important to get these dollars to our families,\u201d Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, a Democrat, told reporters on Aug. 19.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that extra $100 is critically important,\u201d he added, saying he would use money from the CARES Act.<\/p>\n

And Montana sought and received approval for the $400 option last week.<\/p>\n

\u201cIm grateful the Governor and his team was able to quickly assess our states wherewithal to meet the state funding match and then act to ensure that unemployed Montanans get the maximum benefit from this interim program,\u201d acting Labor Commissioner Brenda Nordlund said in a statement.<\/p>\n

States must file applications with the government to receive the enhanced aid, whether $300 extra a week or $400.<\/p>\n

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced Friday that Kentucky was approved. Montana was approved on Aug. 18. West Virginia has not been approved yet.<\/p>\n

Several states were approved Saturday, bringing the total approved for $300-a-week payments to 21.<\/p>\n
