Feyen On UI Funding
State Senator Dan Feyen recently commented on the Evers administration announcement that the Department of Workforce Development signed a contract to fix the Wisconsin unemployment system using the American Rescue Plan Act and previously, the federal Coronavirus Aid Relief, and Economic Security Act. Feyen says it is precisely why Legislative Republicans asked the Governor to use federal funds almost a year ago and again in ACT 4 to fix the ongoing problems at DWD that resulted from his shutdown of the state economy. The state lawmaker from Fond du Lac says while it is a step in the right direction, the overwhelming number of claims that still have not been processed is unacceptable. As of September18th there were still more than 12,500 claims that were still waiting for their appeal to be scheduled.
