OKLAHOMA CITY -
Last week, Shelley Zumwalt was elated to announce a one-time $400 payment to thousands of Oklahomans who were unemployed due to the pandemic, just in time for winter holidays.
“I can’t tell you how excited I am to have good news,” Zumwalt said at a news conference on Dec. 10.
The plan changed on Wednesday. Zumwalt, the director of the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission, said on Facebook the payment would not be issued to the roughly 120,000 people expecting it.
“I’m honestly just still angry that this is where we’re at right now,” Zumwalt said on Wednesday. “Disappointment doesn’t even cover it.”
