Texans Sue Gov. Abbott for Ending $300 Weekly Federal Unemployment Payments Early More than 30,000 people are part of a suit claiming Abbott exceeded his power Peter Wade, provided by FacebookTwitterEmail More than 30,000 people are suing Texas Governor Greg Abbott over his early cessation of $300-per-week supplemental federal unemployment payments for state residents during the pandemic. The group of plaintiffs organized through Facebook groups created to help unemployed Texans navigate the state’s bureaucracy to claim benefits. They argue in the suit that Abbott did not have the authority to end the payments from the federal government, the Houston Chronicle reported. Abbott decided to decline the benefits beginning June 26th, even though the federal government has them scheduled to continue through at least September 6th. The federal payments were also going to gig workers and self-employed Texans who are not eligible for the state’s unemployment benefits.
