Ten jobless residents of Florida are suing the Sunshine State because Governor Ron DeSantis and other state leaders have ended federally approved pandemic unemployment benefits roughly two months before the funding was set to expire.

The residents argue in the lawsuit that DeSantis cut off $1,200 a month’s worth of additional unemployment dollars “for purely partisan and political purposes.”
