Kentucky Will Forego $90 Million for Jobless Workers Unless Unemployment Insurance Updates Made by August

Kentucky stands to miss out on $90 million in federal incentive monies unless it enacts measures by August to modernize its unemployment insurance system. 38 states have acted to receive at least partial incentive monies, but Kentucky did not include these updates in 2010 unemployment insurance legislation. Modernization would assist workers now being left out and inject additional dollars into the Kentucky economy.
