DES MOINES, IOWA (May 12, 2023) — Governor Kim Reynolds released the following statement in response to a potential class action lawsuit regarding unemployment assistance:

“The federal government doesn’t get to run the state of Iowa or impose policies that damage our economy. Paying people to stay home at a time when there are more jobs available than people to fill them defies common sense. Iowans know there is dignity in work.”
