Texas

Gov. Greg Abbott confirmed on Aug. 20 that Texas has applied for Trump’s Lost Wage Assistance Executive Order. On Aug. 21, he announced that unemployed residents will receive an additional $300 every week.

“I thank the Trump administration for swiftly granting these funds to help Texans who have lost their jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Governor Abbott. “These funds will help Texans in need support their families as we work to revitalize the economy and get Texans back to work.”
