Unemployed Floridians are suing Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) for leaving enhanced federal unemployment insurance, despite the fact that the state has as many job openings as unemployed people.
Under the American Rescue Plan, Congress is paying unemployed Americans $300 per week through September 6 on top of preexisting state-level jobless programs. Citing the fact that business owners in their states have been unable to fill an abundance of open positions, Republican governors opted out of the extra federal benefits to encourage labor market recovery.
