      -SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE- While on paper, the extra $600 weekly unemployment benefit *expires* today, there was nothing Congress could do this week to prevent a lapse. 1/

      On Thursday @senatemajldr said if Dems "had acted with urgency, unemployed Americans wouldn’t be facing a total elimination of this extra help." But there's no way it would have been possible for state systems to add back the federal aid when HEALS was released Monday 2/

      Suggesting that 70% or xx% wage replacement will be roughly $ xx weekly amount of a benefit to an individual could be very misleading. Because states administer UI systems it will be up to them to calculate what 70% replacement means and review the base period of earnings 3/

      Maximum weekly benefit payments vary from state to state. So if the feds are back-filling the rest of the benefit to get a worker to xx% of their prior earnings, the extra federal help will vary widely by state and worker. For example max benefit in LA: $247 vs. CO: $618 4/

      Laid off workers are reading coverage of this debate and banking on seeing $ xxx extra per week. But in reality, it's going to take weeks for state UI systems to calculate their extra federal benefit. AND we really don't know what wage replacement will look like for everyone. 5/

      Rebecca Rainey Retweeted Jake Sherman

      GOP lawmakers are also mad that Dems didn't agree to a one-week patch of the $600 extra benefit per @JakeSherman 7/https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1289184930589601794?s=20 …

      Rebecca Rainey added,

      Jake ShermanVerified account @JakeSherman
      Republicans are angry this morning. They’re saying it’s democrats who are blocking an extension on unemployment — true, they did block a one-week patch yesterday. MEADOWS just now: “they’ve made zero offers in three days.”

      BUT again. EVEN IF there was a one week patch THERE IS NO WAY Congress could have prevented a lapse in the extra federal help. 8/

      As @EvermoreMichele explained to me last week: State computers systems "are programmed to stop paying the benefit as of the 26th at the latest." It "takes at least two weeks to start them back up again. Even if it's the exact same $600." 9/

          More so than any of us had anticipated earlier this month. I thought the GOP would get it together, hogtie figuratively the dems and blow some nasty into the pipe and go home! Instead, McConnell is doing as he has done for years NOTHING!
