KANSAS CITY, Mo. â Missouri House Democrats are calling on Gov. Mike Parson to forgive state and federal unemployment overpayments.
Democrats held a virtual news conference Wednesday to address the issue. Tuesday, they received word from the Department of Labor that it will begin a process for eligible claimants to apply for a waiver for non-fraudulent, federal overpayments.
Rep. Peter Merideth, (D) District 80, said he is skeptical of the announcement, saying he's heard it before.
