Federally Extended Benefits reduced as unemployment drops

Wells County’s preliminary unemployment rate dropped from 8.6 percent in January to 8.3 percent in February, according to statistics released last week by the Indiana Department of Workforce Development.

However, the DWD also announced that federal officials will reduce weekly payments of Federally Extended Unemployment Insurance benefits starting Monday, April 8, due to federal budget cuts.
