Judge grants injunction to temporarily continue Pandemic unemployment payments
Of all the states cutting the Pandemic UI early IN was in a unique position in that there is a Statute on the books that requires the state to give out any and all UI insurance the federal govt gives/offers them. A lawsuit was filed a couple of weeks ago by Indiana Legal Services on behalf of all citizens of the state and an emergency injunction hearing was requested this week to have the state reinstate Pandemic UI benefits immediately, which were cutoff on the 19th, until the lawsuit is settled. That injunction was granted today requiring the State to continue payments.
This was just issued. There is more info at Indiana Legal Services FB page.
