An order signed by President Trump to boost unemployed workers’ weekly benefits will not deliver any new aid to South Dakota, where Republican Gov. Kristi L. Noem appeared to become the first state leader to decline the heightened federal support.
Noem, one of Trump’s most vocal allies, said South Dakota did not need to accept the additional federal jobless aid because workers in the state are being rehired, and its economy is on the mend, even as the coronavirus pandemic continues to rage across the United States.
Under Trump’s order, the federal government aims to divert billions of dollars in federal disaster assistance to out-of-work Americans, adding at least $300 more to their weekly benefit amounts — and more if states put up additional financing of their own. The program is supposed to offer a brief, temporary respite after the $600 payments that millions of workers had received regularly expired at the end of July.
If unemployment is low , then good for them and I 100% agree, Paying people to stay home is a lousy incentive to return to work.
True, but not every state allow people to work. Fir example, restaurant here in NJ still outdoor only, but bus is ok to have 60 passengers. Just wait until it get cold here.

I don't think they really closed down. Even the pork plant had reopened a couple of months ago. Noem had released a 'back to normal' plan in April and it seems that many are following those guidelines.
