Ohio debates expanding unemployment benefits amid $2.6B debt
Senator Schiavoni proposed bills to fund extended and job training benefits using federal money, but no vote occurred. Senate leader Niehaus warned long term costs might outweigh one time gain. Ohio already borrows from the federal program to cover 26 week benefits, with 40 states adopting reforms. Tamara Chavis of Columbus urges expansion to support her four children, while experts say modernization could aid part time workers and retraining efforts.
