Up to this point, renewing the federal unemployment benefit has been considered a binary discussion. In general, Democrats support renewing the benefit as it was included in the CARES Act and HEROES Act, while many Republicans have opposed extending the benefit on the premise that many people will choose not to work because they can earn more money from unemployment benefits than they earn while working. Extending the benefit has also been discussed under the premise of it being included in the next stimulus package. Now, however, there is talk about creating a separate deal to buy everyone time.
