Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita discusses the state s plan to appeal a lawsuit over ending weekly federal unemployment benefits.
A judge on Thursday ruled in favor of the Ohio state government over a decision to end participation in a federal jobless aid program.
A Franklin County judge rejected the plaintiffs attempt to have the $300 jobless benefit reinstated while a lawsuit made its way through the court system.
In addition to their broader complaint, the plaintiffs had requested relief in the form of a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction, which was denied.
The judge ruled that the laws referenced by the plaintiffs do not place an obligation on the state government to continue participation in the program, nor did Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine act outside the scope of his authority. Therefore, the plaintiffs did not meet their burden of proving a substantial likelihood of success, the judge wrote.
