Oklahoma will pay people $1,200 to get off unemployment benefits and start working.
Gov. Kevin Stitt signed an executive order creating the Return to Work Incentive, which incentivizes finding a job instead of continuing to claim unemployment benefits.
The first 20,000 people who qualify and apply for the program will receive $1,200 after completing six weeks of a new job. Our challenge is not to get businesses back open; we ve done that. It s been getting employees back to work, Stitt said Monday. Without a doubt, one of the factors causing this has been the continued extension of extra federal benefits.
