U.S. representatives Kathy Castor and Charlie Crist are calling on Governor Ron DeSantis to use emergency powers to expand unemployment benefits.
Castor and Crist are holding a 10:30 a.m. Zoom call with Michele Evermore, a Senior Policy Analyst at the National Employment Law Project, on Wednesday.
According to a press release, under the $2 trillion CARES Act benefits are greatly enhanced.
Castor and Crist say Floridians could get more assistance if the benefits were expanded "beyond some of the stingiest in the country."
