Unemployed Tennessee residents sue state, governor to reinstate unemployment benefits
Fox News
Seven Tennessee residents have filed a lawsuit against Gov. Bill Lee for stopping federal unemployment benefits earlier this year.
Weeks later, some families say they are struggling without the benefits, the Tennessean reported. The families claim in the suit that they have applied to hundreds of jobs, most without receiving any response. The lawsuit, filed Monday in Middle Tennessee District Court, asks the court to instruct Lee to immediately reverse his earlier decision and reenter the program. Tennessee returned to state-funded benefits, which dispenses around $275 per week, and the federal program would have added an additional $300 per week. Several states that pulled out of the benefits program have faced lawsuits already, with residents in Indiana and Maryland having won their cases. Cases in Ohio, Oklahoma, Florida and Texas are pending, FOX 17 News reported.
