COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio employers could see $1 billion in cash rebates this summer from the state insurance fund for injured workers.
About 210,000 businesses and public employers could see a payout in June or July, should the board of directors at the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation approve the plan. Checks could range from $5 to more than $3 million.
Gov. John Kasich outlined the proposal Thursday at a T-shirt store in Columbus, which could get a $4,000 rebate.
"I would call this one of the most significant economic stimulus measures that you could see," Kasich said. "I think being able to give a billion dollars in cash means there's going to be a heck of a lot more money floating around inside the state of Ohio, and it will be of significant benefit to the employers, particularly the small businesspeople."
