President Trump signed executive orders Saturday after announcing the possibility Friday evening in his press conference in New Jersy. The executive orders will provide an extension of unemployment benefits and a deferment on payroll taxes. The orders would also provide a deferment of student loans and a moratorium on rental evictions.
The payroll tax orders would affect Americans making less than 100K per year, effective from August 1 to the end of the year. A $300 a week in extended unemployment benefits would be provided.
