President Donald Trump’s administration has given at least one governor the option of paying no money for his new unemployment plan in a bid to ease concerns about how to afford the proposed 75–25 percent split.

Governors across the country expressed concern over affordability after Trump on Aug. 8 signed an executive order resuming additional payments for the unemployed, but mandated that states provide a quarter of the funds.
