Bank Of America Unemployment Accounts Closed, Benefits Missing

While some Arizonans who have applied for unemployment benefits are still waiting for their checks, others have reportedly had their accounts wiped out.

Unemployment recipients are given Bank of America debit cards to access their money. Over the weekend of July 11, recipients reported their accounts had been closed — and thousands of dollars in benefits were gone.

Ryan Randazzo has been following this story for the Arizona Republic, and The Show spoke to him for more on the situation.
