The DWD declined an interview with I-Team 8 on Monday. “I really do not feel like they addressed what’s wrong,” says Danita Owens, whose brother is being asked to repay $8,025 in pandemic unemployment benefits, even though he was deemed eligible. “Somebody needs to step up to help all of these claimants, not each individual claim, because the issue is not different,” Owens said. Owens says since the press conference, nothing has changed and she says many questions have gone unanswered. “Why can’t you grant the waiver? And why was the waiver even asked for? I just feel like that it leaves an open end to an answer that we really didn’t get answered,” Owens said.
