White House supports another stimulus bill if incentives to return to work are included
The White House administration is supportive of a Phase 4 stimulus bill that would send payments to individuals directly, but noted that they would also prefer to see incentives to return to work included, setting up a battle with Democratic congressmen who would like to see the unemployment benefits that had been enacted in April to continue. Many Republicans believe that continuing solely with unemployment benefits would encourage people not to return to work. The administration is waiting on economic data in the next two weeks to determine additional stimulus amounts.
