If a state, territory and the District of Columbia is using other money to provide individuals with an amount higher than $300, is there something that limits to only contributing $100 or may the state/territory provide additional money?

alert - warning

The COVID-19 incident period ended on May 11, 2023. FEMA will continue to provide funeral assistance until Sept. 30, 2025, to those who have lost loved ones due to this pandemic.

The Presidential Memorandum authorized up to $400 through the supplemental lost wages assistance program, including a $300 federal contribution. If the state, territory and the District of Columbia chooses to provide an amount beyond this using non-UI funds, it is considered a separate state/territory program which would be subject to authorization under state law.
