Jobless Aren't Getting
Benefits, Seward Says;
Calls For Investigation
4 Legislators' Focus: Labor Department
ONEONTA – State Sen. Jim Seward, R-Milford, has joined a bipartisan group of state legislators urging an investigation of why jobless New Yorkers can't get benefits to which they're entitled.
"While some of the millions of the state's unemployed have begun receiving benefits, millions more have not only not received benefits but can't get through to the Department of Labor by phone or email," according to a statement from Seward and three other Central New York solons.
