President Trump Saturday signed four executive actions to provide Americans financial relief from the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

 

Here's a look at what they would do:

$400 weekly federal unemployment aid

Trump's executive action calls for $400-per-week in supplemental unemployment aid. Unemployed people were getting $600-a-week extra until the federal program expired at the end of July.

Trump's action would require states to pay for 25 percent of the $400 weekly benefit, while the federal government would pick up 75 percent.

Trump would divert up to $44 billion from FEMA's Disaster Relief Fund to cover the unemployment program.

The extra unemployment help would last until Dec. 6 or until the Disaster Relief Fund balance drops to $25 billion, "whichever occurs first," according to the White House memo.:snip:
