OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — The Washington Employment Security Department says it will save more than $115,000 a year by changing the envelopes used to mail out unemployment checks.
For years the department has used gold-colored envelopes to distinguish them from other mailings.
The department said Tuesday it’s going to standard white envelopes at a savings of 2 cents per mailing.
