Anonymous Coward User ID: 678911 United Arab Emirates 12/07/2010 01:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This President just stood in front of the nation and told an outright lie. This is only the continuation of a mass slaughter for unemployed Americans. He specifically wants to make people think that he’s giving the unemployed thirteen more months of unemployment monies for those that are on unemployment now. Nothing could be further from the truth. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1137703No one, but the people who are affected by this, will understand it. The Press knowingly keeps this lie and charade going. This is not thirteen more months of unemployment the way they would have the public believe. This is only a continuation of what is called “The Date Game.” Everyone who is on unemployment was being cut off, no matter where you were in the process. No matter how many months you got, they were cutting everyone off. All this extension does is allow the people who did not receive (the “up to”) 99 weeks, who were going to be cut off before the (“up to”) 99 weeks, to obtain the rest of the money that was funded for the (“up to”) 99 weeks. I’m going to try to make this as crystal clear as I can, because they purposely make this so convoluted that almost no one can follow it. The first victims of the economic collapse happened in November of 2008. And 800,000 plus people were laid off. In December of 2008, another 700,000 plus. January of 2009, when Obama was sworn in, another 1.2 million people lost their jobs. Just to make it easy, I’ll just focus on those nearly three million people. All of those nearly three million people that I just spoke of will not get thirteen more months of unemployment. They get nothing. By the end of this month, all, and I mean all of those people will have reached their (“up to”) 99 weeks and will be thrown off the unemployment roll and they will no longer be counted as the unemployed, thus the unemployment number will go down.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1187319So they were going to cut off people that were not even near the end of their UE benefits? So are the people at the 99 week part going to be cut off now? Everyone needs to know this NOW. No everyone needs to verify that its not totally full of shit, then we can worry about knowing.. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1187396 United States 12/07/2010 01:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yep, OP has it right. This only helps 'recently' laid-off folks! I was laid-off in May. My state allows 26 weeks of UIC. I would have lost benefits next week were it not for this. NOW----Here is the rub!!! Myself and my former company still have an account balance of over $4,500 that we (me and my company) funded. The State manages this account. It is NOT publicly-funded. If not for this 'extension', that money which me and my company paid would not be available to me. It is common for 'higher-salaried' folks to go through the 26 weeks and stop receiving unemployment even though they still have money in 'their' State-managed accounts. |

That means he's taking care of the recently unemployed and the people who have been sitting on unemployment for 2 years are going to get cut off. Sounds about right to me! I was angry that they were going to pay the 99-monthers to sit around for another year. Now I feel better. |

Depending on their salary and how long they have contributed to their UIC account, even some 99-weekers could still have THEIR OWN MONEY left in a State-managed account NOT accessible to them! That's fair? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1137703Anyone who milks this to 99 weeks, and loses all ambitions to work, and falls behind the workforce is not unemployed. They are welfare cases. Some of you want a lifelong unemployment entitlement, and let the darker complexion folks get the welfare, guess this makes it alright, because its all white in your gubment teet sucking world. Go to your local welfare office, or better yet, take what work ethic you may have had instilled in you, and get your asses to work. |
