Iowa Republican Sen. Joni Ernst said on May 20 she’s introducing legislation to stop millionaires from being able to collect the extra $600 per week federal unemployment benefit that Congress included in its most recent CCP virus relief measure.
“While the additional assistance was really for folks who had lost their only income, the money we have discovered can also be claimed by millionaires” under the $2 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, Ernst said in a telephone conversation with reporters.
