Trump to Take Executive Action to Extend Coronavirus Relief Measures - Do You Agree?
Do you agree with President Trump taking executive action on coronavirus relief measures?
What’s the story?
- President Donald Trump is expected to take executive actions on Saturday to extend coronavirus relief measures that have either expired or are set to expire in the near future amid the congressional impasse in negotiations over a “phase 4” coronavirus relief bill.
- While it’s uncertain whether there will be lawsuits to contest the constitutionality of these executive actions, it’s possible that such a challenge would impede these relief measures from taking effect.
What is expected to be extended?
- The federally enhanced unemployment benefit.
- The moratorium on evictions.
- The payroll tax holiday.
- Student loan forbearance.
