Prayer Vigil for Unemployment Extension at Rep Mike Coffman’s Office
February 1st, 2012 | 
Author:
On December 8th, Colorado Wants to Work occupied the office of Congressman Mike Coffman for a prayer vigil and conversation in the name of asking Coffman to support extending unemployment benefits which might expire this month. Unless Congress acts, millions of Americans face the prospect of going hungry and getting thrown out of their homes soon after the holidays. Politicians predictably will demand cuts to other progressive programs before authorizing more spending for unemployment insurance.

Answer by jdig
I used eApply4UI (on EDD’s website) to file for my first extension. It was pretty easy for me because I had used eApply4UI the first time and made a printout of my answers. So I just used the printout as a reference sheet and gave the exact same answers *except* for the question (I believe it’s #9) that asks whether or not you’ve filed a claim in the past two years. I answered “yes” and entered the month and year that I filed my initial claim. Incidentally, I did this on a Sunday – the day after my first unemployment period ended. Good luck.

I live in Illinois and have been unemployed since November 2008. My basis 26 week coverage has been used and I will exhaust the 33 week federal extension around January 15th, 2010. Does the recent 14/20 week extension approved by Congress provide coverage to those running out of benefits after the first of the year? Please provide information source if possible.

It applies to current & immediate future coverage. For the 200,00 people who fell off the rolls during the 3 weeks the republicans filibustered to get their ‘pork’ in – those folks got scre&ed – courtesy of the GOP – not retroactive. Thank the GOP at election time.

For more information about how to apply for extended benefits, see Information On Unemployment Insurance Extensions on the Division of Unemployment Assistance web site. You can file an extended benefit claim by calling the special toll-free number: 1-888-998-8418.
Straight from their web site.
Keep in mind, extensions are in the process of expiring, so you probably also want to check this chart: http://www.mass.gov/lwd/unemployment-insur/filing-a-claim/federal-extension-programs/overview-of-latest-extension-benefits.html which will tell you IF the extension you are looking for, is in force any more.

Declining job contract extension amounts to resignation?
Question by All Season: Declining job contract extension amounts to resignation?
I am in the UK and on a job in which the contract gets renewed every few months. The current contract will be ending soon, but I have received a letter from the employer saying they are extending the contract by another few months. However, I do not want to extend it. So if I don’t sign and return the contract extension letter, would it be equivalent to resigning from the job, or would it count as the job coming to an end due to the end of contract?
Best answer:
Answer by The Interview Coach
This depends on the conditions stipulated in the original contract. However it would be good practice to indicate to the employer in writing that you are not going to be extending the contract. They will probably be used as a reference at some point in your career and it is advisable to keep things professional and polite. For examples of resignation letters go to the website below.

Unemployment Extension: Record High 13.7 Million Americans Currently Collect Unemployment as of May 2011
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 28, 2011
According to Unemployment-Extension.org, Unemployment Extension retroactive payments are now available to Americans by the 2011 legislation bill through 2011. This was passed by Congress due to record-high unemployment figures, causing many states to change their laws in order to make the extra benefit available to their residents.
In turn, this has caused many state legislatures to debate exhaustively in attempts to accommodate special interests and other partisan political issues – placing these before the interest of the people. For individuals who are running out of time and benefits, this haggling is not a welcomed state of affairs.
Although the bill does not add another “tier” to unemployment extensions, for those who have or are running out of their benefit period (26 weeks but less than 99) it adds another layer of much needed time in finding work and otherwise keeping afloat in questionable economic times.
Making matters worse, states are now finding it necessary to limit the number of weeks benefits will be paid out to the unemployed in order to preserve or shore up their unemployment coffers which have been drained by the high unemployment rates suffered for these past years of economic strain.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 13.7 million Americans are drawing unemployment as of May 2011. Benefit levels are set and administered by each state and vary widely.
The initial benefits are paid by states for a period of 26 weeks, usually. These funds are derived from employer taxes. This program having started in 1935 during the Great Depression has helped Americans get through difficult times immediately following loss of employment not due to their own fault. Additionally, the Federal government has seen fit to add funding programs (emergency extensions) when the economy has caused a high rate of unemployment to ensue throughout the country.
The present unemployment extension benefits allow a total of 99 weeks. Not all states, however, have passed legislation to accommodate all 99 weeks. In fact, some states would prefer to use some of that federal money to reduce employer’s taxes used to keep the state unemployment funds fluid. A bill still lingers in Congress for just that purpose.
Just recently, in late March, Michigan became the first state to reduce the basic 26 weeks of unemployment benefits to 20 weeks for newly unemployed workers starting next year.
In Missouri, though resuming extended benefits, the legislature cut back initial benefits to 20 weeks, starting immediately.
The State of Florida also is following suit by passing a law cutting maximum state benefits from 26 weeks to 23 weeks, with fewer weeks available when the jobless rate falls below 10.5%. Florida could provide as little as 12 weeks of checks to the jobless if unemployment falls to 5%.
All these states and others are attempting to cut the drain of state-paid unemployment benefits in order to balance the burden between the employers and the unemployed within the state and transferring the balance of the burden over to the extra benefits provided by the federal government (Unemployment Extension Leveraging – my term).
Florida, for example, enjoys the full 99 weeks of the unemployment extension provided for by the federal government. So their reduction in their obligations by way of the newly passed initial “23 weeks” serves to take advantage by offsetting the federal grant.
