They’re running into legal problems.” That could create more headaches for states. They might not be able to use the unemployment system to pay out the funds since it could be illegal under the Stafford Act, according to Dutta-Gupta. State unemployment offices would either have to create a new system to disperse the funds, or other government entities might be called on to assist, including the tax system or human services agencies, he says. “They can’t call it an unemployment benefit under the Stafford Act, but it starts looking and smelling and sounding a lot like an unemployment benefit real quickly," says Dutta-Gupta. " And even more so if it’s administered by the same unemployment agencies. They probably can’t do that if they want it to be upheld.” Some Americans might not qualify
Trump’s measure would allow states to provide up to $400-per-week in expanded benefits, 75% of which would come from the federal government's disaster relief fund.
