(CNN) Unemployed South Dakota residents will not see a $300 federal boost in weekly jobless benefits after Gov. Kristi Noem opted to turn down President Donald Trump's executive offer. "South Dakota is open for business -- that applies to our business owners and their employees." But states would have to accept the Trump administration's offer, which would require they create a new payment system since it's not part of the existing unemployment program. After an outcry from cash-strapped states, the Department of Labor said states can count the state benefits they are already paying toward the match requirement.
