State will not need loan to pay unemployment

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — A better than expected revenue forecast last week indicates that Washington will not in fact need a loan to pay unemployment benefits.

According to officials with the state’s Employment Security Department, September projections show that Washington may still need to request a line of credit from the U.S. Department of Labor, as is required by federal law to sustain at least three months of benefit payments.

But officials said they do not anticipate having to borrow from that line of credit.
