Unemployment benefits fading away
Even though the nation's jobless rate is on the rise, millions of people could see their unemployment checks stop coming at the end of the year.
Nearly all Americans who find themselves out of work starting next month will likely receive only 26 weeks of state unemployment checks -- at most.
Why?
Because the deadline to file for extended federal benefits expires at the end of the year.
"Most people who lose their jobs after July 1... won't be eligible for federal unemployment benefits,"
said George Wentworth, senior staff attorney at the National Employment Law Project.
