Commissioners approve $3,311.18 prepaid unemployment claim voucher
Summary
The board approved a prepaid voucher for a $3,311.18 unemployment claim; staff said the county could contest the claim at an upcoming hearing and that payment is required before the month-end deadline if the county does not prevail.
Weston County commissioners voted to approve payment of a prepaid unemployment claim voucher for $3,311.18.
County staff explained the payment related to an unemployment claim and that the county planned to contest the claim at a hearing scheduled the following Monday. Staff said the county must submit the payment to the Department of Workforce Services by the end of the month unless the hearing overturns the claim.
One staff member described the claim's timing as falling in a quarter when the claimant was reported under county employment and said, “If we lose this, we do we pay?” A commissioner moved to approve the voucher; the board then voted and the motion passed with all members saying “aye.”
The board approved the voucher and directed that the county proceed with the contested hearing next week; staff will update the board after the hearing.
