The GOP will reportedly seek to reduce coronavirus unemployment benefits to $200 a week until states can implement a 70% wage replacement scheme for jobless people

The newspaper reported that Republicans want the flat bonus to be in place for two months, the time frame in which they expect state unemployment offices will be able to set up the wage replacement proposal. If implemented, it would distribute a lower amount of federal payments for jobless Americans. The Trump administration and Senate Republicans are quibbling over the next coronavirus stimulus.

Republicans long assailed the $600 federal bonus. They say it disincentivizes people from returning to work since a substantial figure of unemployed people can earn more from the government compared to their previous jobs.
