WCLO's Beth Wheelock reports on the federal assistance for United Stars Industries in Beloit.

Additional reemployment services are now available for displaced workers of United Stars Industries in Beloit.

Department of Workforce Development spokeswoman Jessica Erickson says it's not unusual for a year to elapse before federal assistance is granted. Nearly 140 workers lost their jobs in April 2007. The services include employment training, income support, job search allowance and relocation allowance. The services are available through the Rock County Job Center.
