Department of Workforce Services Public Hearing
Tuesday, June 8
The Utah Department of Workforce Services is seeking comment on a proposed rule reducing benefits for families that include individuals who can’t or won’t provide immigration documents.

Department of Workforce Services, 1385 S. State, June 8, 5-6 p.m. spixton@utah.gov
