CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Approximately 80,000 Virginians with denied unemployment claims will now have access to benefits.
The change comes thanks to a key decision from the Virginia Employment Commission (VEC). Those now covered had been waiting for a hearing to determine their eligibility, or to confirm eligibility after benefits had been cut off.
