BOSTON (AP) – More than 300 people who didn’t get final paychecks when 13 western Massachusetts Wendy’s franchises closed are getting a second installment of their money.

Attorney General Martha Coakley says her office has mailed out checks worth a total of nearly $85,880 to more than 300 former employees.

Last month, Coakley’s office mailed out checks worth a total of nearly $192,000 to 406 former workers.

The money came from a fund created with $350,000 from Dublin, Ohio-based Wendy’s International.

The restaurants closed suddenly in July because of the financial problems of the franchises’ owner.
