DeWine Announces UA Plan

Governor, DeWine says Ohio unemployment claimants would receive $300 in federal weekly unemployment assistance under an option provided by the White House that doesn’t require extra state spending. The plan agreed to by the governor means less money for the unemployed under another option, that would provide $400 a week, with $100 coming from the state. Both options involve less than the $600 a week in federal pandemic aid that recipients were receiving until Aug 1, with Congress unable to agree on an extension.
