White House: $400 per Week Unemployment Benefits Starting in About 2 Weeks – Epoch Times
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said the $400 weekly unemployment benefit payment, authorized under President Donald Trump’s recent executive action, will be distributed within several weeks.
Trump on Saturday issued an executive order to continue the expanded federal payments, which include $300 in federal money and $100 in state money.
On Monday, Mnuchin said in a late evening press conference that the payments could be expected “within a week or two.” A reporter was asking questions to him and President Trump in the briefing.
“Within the next week or two, most of the states will be able to execute,” he said in full.
