What is there to worry about? If you were unemployed when you were collecting there is no fraud.

No, you won’t be able to claim. Keep checking for the passage of this bill and then contact your state unemployment.

No it is not fraud. I am still filing on line and my benefits are up.
It says " After I fill in the data and send, it replys “you have no benefits left. If you are still unemployed after Nov 8 you can reapply.” By signing in every week, they know who is still unemployed.
Not all states are the same, here in NJ if you have no money left in your UI balance..no way they let you sign in every week!
Unemeployment rates are done by your States Labor Dept.every month asking employers how many are employed with them to get a idea how many are unemployed…there is no exact figure..just a rough idea.
OK…pardon my ignorance…
So this is going to “happen” Wednesday we think….with the auto bailout bill being a potential amendment to the EU…and if the auto bailout goes no further, the Senate will nevertheless vote on the EU?
Do we think we might get the extension? I’m just getting a little sick of crying every day :(

I can’t say for sure, but it seems the UI extension should pass..the House voted for it, Obama for it, Bush in past talk said he sign it (just the UI though)..hope some tears stop, we all are in same boat..its a shame what is happening to us.
Is there still enough time to impeach Bush so he can be fired instead of resign?
The regulars will be back when need be.
their excuse was, ‘it was planned months in advance of the bailout’. so? they still could have canceled. i bet the deposits they lost would have been a pittance compared to the 120 billion the taxpayers just gave them. where is the law? isn’t this criminal? is NO ONE going to jail for any of this crap? write your congresspersons.
Does anyone think the UI extension will get mentioned in the debate tonight and if yes who do you think will bring it up?
Well, after tonight’s debate, considering all the publicity he got, it seems to me that poor ole “Joe the Plumber” might find himself in a completely different tax bracket !
the troll is lonely and scared all of his fun will leave to chatzy site and he wont be able to bother anyone.
Yes. Unfortunately there are many people voting for Obama simply because he’s black. This is very sad. Personally I will vote for someone because he has integrity and experience and is best suited for the job. Not because of his or her skin color. :(
You’re posting information dishonestly. Misinformation has no place on this forum. Read the articles and then search for ones like it to compare. Below is an excerpt from the article. You cannot be trusted with your information.
“House Republican leadership aides said that GOP members have not been consulted on the details of a second stimulus. One of these aides said, “We’re not necessarily opposed to it out of hand. We would ask, is it truly stimulative? Is it really going to help stimulate the economy?”
A Senate Republican leadership aide said Republicans are skeptical of a second stimulus but did not suggest there is outright opposition to another package."

AIG spent thousands on execs’ hunting trip
UK vacation happened as insurer asked for billions more in federal loans
THIS IS THEIR 2ND TRIP AFTER ASKING FOR MORE BILLIONS!
THE 1ST TRIP WAS TO A SPA
UNBELEIVABLE!!!!!
Link?
I thought the Senate was going to meet today and vote on the extension?
If you are disabled then why speak on this forum? If you are drawing unemployment benefits, then clearly you are guilty of fraud. Spare your outrage, it’s people like you the Republicans use to vote down unemployment extensions.
Okay, I believe you.

U.S. confronts possibility of deep recession
Current economic downturn bringing anxiety similar to 1970s, ’80s
But unlike the last two relatively short recessions, this one could be much longer and more severe, potentially bringing with it anxiety and job losses not seen in many years
We need that EUI now .No jobs out there at all now..
I am going to be homeless if they don’t pass this soon!!!
When does the UE figures come out?
Well said.
Just heard we are in a recession, but bail out only help us not to go into a depression.
Where is our extension???
NJ & 1 or 2 other states have UE deductions taken from each paycheck. Fact.
I love how the Dem’s are socialist, but the Repub’s don’t get called fascist. Sure the Dem’s help the poor and want to get involved in things like healthcare that I think they should stay out of, but the Repubs are 10x worse; they giving trillions of dollars to corporations and the rich. They go to war and the corporations profit while Americans die. Who runs up the national debt? Please tell me who?
My prayers are answered.
very shortsighted of you to label the rest of the bill ‘pork’. not at all, imho. it goes to states and infrastructure and many other areas other than UE. 300 billion compared to more than a trillion at this point for Wall Street? i don’t think that’ looks like much at all.
Do a search in Yahoo news for “layoffs” no wonder its such a challange to get a job, so many places are laying off workers and\or not hiring, every day there are more out of work.
I’m trying to keep postitive thoughts, hoping to get a job. What’s amazing is I am also applying for “survival jobs” even the part time minimum wage and I am not being called for interviews. I find out they hire people who’s last job was a similar minimum wage job.
The UI rate for my county for August is 6.4%, I will wild guess its higher for September when they publish the numbers, as there have been several large scale layoffs in area.
