Washington (CNN) States will have to create a new system to pay out the unemployment benefits provided by President Donald Trump's latest executive action, and that could leave the 28 million unemployed Americans waiting weeks to see the additional $300 payments. Because the money is coming from a different pool, it's subject to different rules -- and needs its own process. "It would have to be created from scratch and run parallel with Pennsylvania's existing unemployment benefits programs," said Penny Ickes, the communications director for the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry, in a statement sent to CNN. "This is not something that any state will be able to do quickly," she added. It excludes people receiving less than $100 a week from their state's existing unemployment benefits.
