Washington (CNN) The White House's top economic adviser on Sunday tried to explain how states and the federal government will be able to work together to provide enhanced unemployment benefits prescribed by a series of executive actions for coronavirus economic relief that President Donald Trump signed a day earlier. "At a minimum, we will put in 300 bucks and the states will continue with their 400 bucks. But I think all they have to do is put up an extra dollar and we'll be able to throw in the extra $100," he said. Bash questioned Kudlow's statement, saying, "But the executive action says $400 and that the state would pay 25% of this. "Well, we will stand ready to re-purpose if states put in a little bit more is all it amounts to," Kudlow said.
