LEXINGTON, Ky. â A Lexington woman trying to obtain employment benefits for months is now fighting her case from her hospital bed.
Briana Strickland reached out to WLEX for help with Kentucky's unemployment system multiple times since January when she originally filed for unemployment.
Strickland says she didn't receive payments until March. Then in May, Strickland says the state notified her by a letter that she was overpaid.
