End of federal $600 unemployment benefit leaves Minnesotans anxious

Shelly DeWees says the extra $600 in federal unemployment benefits has helped pay for child care so she can take her 1-year-old son Ozzy, who has cerebral palsy, to medical appointments. DeWees, who lives in South St. Paul, was furloughed from her part-time marketing job in March.
