Gov. Reynolds Statement on Unemployment Assistance Lawsuit 

  

DES MOINES – Gov. Reynolds released the following statement in response to a potential class action lawsuit regarding unemployment assistance:  

 

“The federal government doesn’t get to run the state of Iowa or impose policies that damage our economy.  Paying people to stay home at a time when there are more jobs available than people to fill them defies common sense. Iowans know there is dignity in work.”
