What comes next, however, is different. The Republican proposal says
that by October, the flat $200 federal boost will be replaced with a
payment that, when combined with regular state benefits, will recover
70% of workers’ previous wages. The replacement rate will be calculated
either by a formula specified in the bill or by a state proposing an
alternative method and receiving approval from the Secretary of Labor.
That means the method of calculating a 70% replacement wage could vary
by state. Boosts will be capped at $500 per week.
