Rep. John Curtis (R-Utah) says it’s time for Congress to act to make sure enhanced unemployment benefits under the Coronavirus Aid, Recovery, and Economic Security (CARES) Act get to those who need it most, not to millionaires.

“You’ve got to draw the line someplace,” Curtis told The Epoch Times on Aug. 6. “Many of us want to see the funds that are being expended get down the road to those who desperately need it, and there are so many who do.”
