Kentucky Jobless Benefits

By Lisa Autry

Frankfort, KY – Thousands of unemployed Kentuckians will soon have checks in the mail. The money comes after President Obama signed a bill last week that extends federal unemployment benefits. Lanny Brannock is with the Kentucky Office of Employment and Training. He says the retroactive benefits apply to those who dropped from the rolls on May 29 or after. Kentuckians who are due retroactive benefits may request as many as two checks per day for up to three consecutive days.
