People who are out of a job in Wisconsin may get a little extra from the federal government.
Wisconsin’s Department of Workforce Development yesterday said the state has been cleared to offer 300 dollars-per-week in extra benefits. The money is part of a federal package that seeks to replace the 600 dollar-per-week unemployment enhancer that ended at the beginning of August. There is no word when the extra benefits will be available in Wisconsin, how long they will last, or how many people will qualify.
