Saw a WaPo article about it saying some in the GOP were talking about putting an income cap on it so presumably that implies it doesn't necessarily have one right now but who knows. CNBC articles from Thursday were speculating they might try to implement it in a flat payment like they are now using either average or median worker income (depending on what number they use that could mean anywhere from like $180-$300/week) but the reporting today that they want $200/week for 2 months while states somehow update their systems to accomodate whatever 70% system they decide on appears to imply it's not a flat payment to all but individualized somehow.
Seeing how the GOP is complaining about $600 being too high and wanting to slash it down to $100 or $200 I would have to imagine they cap it somewhere, and probably in a pretty draconian way but who knows.
Still feel like this ends up being all scrapped and the compromise deal with the House ends up at like $400/week.
I could see them agreeing to a 600 a week extension for 2 months while states upgrade system to a 70% system.
I don't think anyone is really against a % system (though I would argue maybe 80% is fairer), if it weren't for the computer system problems that Mnuchin himself said was an issue.
But, they could have already had them working on this in the past few months. This is just dumb scrambling.
