What happened
The Ohio Supreme Court rejected a lawsuit filed by Marc Dann, which claimed 300,000 Ohioans were owed $900 million in unemployment checks from the pandemic. The court had previously dismissed the case as moot. The lawsuit challenged the decision made by Governor Mike DeWine to end the program in Ohio in May 2021.

Why it matters
Marc Dann argued that the appropriated funds were available and that the money could inject almost a billion dollars into Ohio’s economy. The court’s rejection prevents the potential injection of these funds into the state economy.
