That is wonderful, PA! Such a blessing, especially today, with everything in such a disarray.

I am hoping this qualifies us, but very cautious as this around $3,000 and hate to be planning on something that is not 100%

Sick of all this B.S.

The wording says, “at least 8 percent for three months in a row AT THE TIME you run out of money on state extended benefits”.

Now it is a wait and see game again.

I ran out of EB last year sometime.

Nothing updated on Cubline – MyUIClaimant.

Colorado, looks like they are going to state paying the extensions possibly today and EB starting next week, here are the details

“put you on state extended benefits 2 if Colorado’s unemployment rate has been at least 8 percent for three months in a row at the time you run out of money”

What happens if money ran out in February?
Should we “refile”?

If you ran out of money on state extended benefits (beginning state extended benefits 2).

You can get state extended benefits 2 if Colorado’s unemployment rate was at least 8 percent for three months in a row at the time you signed up.

State extended benefits 2 lasts for seven weeks.

We automatically put you on state extended benefits 2 if Colorado’s unemployment rate has been at least 8 percent for three months in a row at the time you run out of money on state extended benefits.

I talked to them today at the 1877 number (main office?) and was told that they are using a program to go through and process them. She checked my account and said that there is nothing there that will hold mine up. As to the others in class that received theirs today, I was told that they are currently doing the Extended Benefits first and plan to have them all paid out today and their overall plan is to try to get all the retro payments out this week, so that they can go into next week “business as usual”. Again, this is Ohio.

Forgot to mention that during this whole extension mess Colorado achieved an three month 8% unemployment rate average. So Extended benefits were extended from 13 weeks to 20 weeks. Colorado still does not qualify for Tier 4 however.

For those of you in Colorado, they’ve posted updated information on their website as of today. (7/27/2010)

They are paying people in stages depending on what Tier you were on.

Regular Unemployment to Tier 1: July 27, 2010
Tier 1 to Tier 2: July 29, 2010
Tier 2 to Tier 3: July 29, 2010
Tier 3 to Extended Benefits: Sometime early in the week of Aug 1, 2010

Also, according to the Colorado website if you received the extra $25 FAC on your regular unemployment claim, you will continue to receive it through December 11, 2010

The Progressive playbook (including both parties) is to divide and conquer. If the people are constantly arguing about who’s at fault, the ruling class can continue to shove chit down our collective throats until we finally choke. It’s up to us to see the bigger picture and do something about it! Vote out anyone and everyone who hasn’t convinced you that spending and taxes MUST be cut dramatically and immediately!

President Obama has QUADRUPLED our deficit in just one year of office! Wake up. Sure – Bush spent WAY too much!! But how does that absolve Obama from spending way too much x’s 32??

You’re looking at this all wrong. Extending unemployment benefits extends the rate of unemployment which delays our recovery, which costs our children and grandchildren dearly in terms of debt service (INTEREST on our $14Trillion national debt). Additionally, this bill is not just about unemployment benefits. It an attack on the middle class. For example, there’s a provision in this bill that mandates that every penny of all income coming to a small services business (less that 4 service people) have to pay unemployment tax (on every penny) as well as FICA that everyone else has to pay. We are already paying the 7.5% FICA on every penny. But to have to pay and additional 7.5% on every penny of income when you’re the ONLY employee, is so completely ridiculous and will tremendously hurt small business and the middle class.

I received 6 weeks of payment today in Pennsylvania. That was fast, good job PA!

Hi! Is there anyone who could tell me what the total amount of weeks are for EUC in Maryland? Is it 73? And what tier is MD listed under? Thank you in advance!

Here, in Ohio, I was told that these would be sometime this week. In my control panel, it shows where I’ve filed including this weekend and it shows all those payments as denied, but two people in class with me just had the lump payment hit their bank accounts. I’m not sure what to do now other than try calling again when I get home from class. So, some are getting it, both of them are on the State extended where I just needed to be moved to tier 2. Guess I’ll try to find out again.

I don’t know where you are but there is help available. I know nobody likes public housing but that is an available housing option and Catholic charities and such will help. You need to get to your local Department of Human Services. Also tell them about your mental state because you are in a severe state of despair if not clinically depressed. Call 211 that is usually the number for United Way. Don’t give up!

My only idea is to move and/or go back to school. It seems here in Ohio there are more state jobs in Franklin County (Columbus) than Cuyahoga (Cleveland). I had decided to go back to school and take a course in medicall terminology at the community college. Apparently you can’t get a job directing people to rooms without knowledge of medical terminology. I know how you feel I can’t even get a job at a drug store. Mind you I don’t have a degree like you but I was making way more than minimum wage. I know that your salary history will be used against you because managers feel that it would be a waste of time to hire you because as soon as you get a better offer you’re out of there. So that may be why you are getting rejected. Anyway good luck!

Texas where I live, apparently doesn’t pay retro pay and benefits til August 4h…that makes 2 months without a check. I’m confused because I got cut off as Tier 1 ended for me and was waiting on the bill to pass to get to Tier 2 but I can make a new claim July 31st. I’ve been making my payment requests bi weekly since June 5th so I don’t know what’s going on as far as expecting backpay. so confusing!!

whats weird is that here in NC…..ever since my benefits ran out the end of June…I have not been able to file my weekly certification……told me my benefits had been exhausted every time i tried. Well last night i tried it for the hell of it and it let me do it like normal as if i was doing it to get my money…. So i dont know whats up.

I have been checking here in Missouri and all the website says that money will be available in 1-5 weeks. Again the money is being held hostage.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to say that is great news that they passed the extension! I am writing up here to try and get some brainstorming ideas. I was laid off in April ‘09 and for the life of me cannot find a job. I am not trying to complain or anything because I know a lot of you have it 10x worse than I do. I am a 29 yr old single male. I have my MBA and a good work history and just got rejected from another job that I went on an interview for on Friday. It seems hopeless……I really thought I would get this job. Anyway, enough of my sob story. I’m trying to figure out a way we can help ourselves….unemployment will eventually run out for everyone. We need to figure out what to do before that happens – and I know it has already happened to the 99ers, and am I truly sorry for that. However, I would welcome any brainstorming ideas, thoughts, or methods that anyone can come up with to get us out of this mess.

I check on the status of my checks today and was advised that I have 3 checks that were mailed today 07/26/10 totaling $2700. This is the best news I’ve had in weeks. I’m in California

Has anyone heard from thier states yet about when they will get the checks?

by the way Baucus is not our friend, he as taken a stand along with Nancy Pelosi saying that 99 weeks is enough and that there should not be any additional benefits.

*
tier 2 13 weeks + 1 week added by tier 4

there are some Colorado people on the 1699 bill thread if you go to the comment section of that thread you will find the answers you are looking for were answered last week.

my god – there may be some money to be made here. selling warm clothes to those poor souls in hell who will be needing them here shortly thanks to what the republicans are working towards. but alas, i’ll believe it when i see it.

when you people are making your calls and sending your letters make sure you ask the aids if there congressperson plans to support the republican sponsored unemployment extension that provides a 16 weeks tier 5 for the people that have gone through all of the existing tiers.

Maybe it will start a race to see who can get their tier five on the floor the fastest.

Hell just froze over! the republicans are trying to pass 16 additional weeks of unemployment benefits for the 99ers.

Republicans to “Turn Ninety-Niner Help into 15 Million Votes this November”

http://www.prlog.org/10814032-turn-ninety-niner-help-into-15-million-votes-this-november.html

thank you Jesus

thanks enrico.

after a little more investigation i found that it’s not available here…..which is why i haven’t heard of it. compared to most of the nation hawaii isn’t really that bad off. a lot of what happens here is based on what happens in asia. since asia has not been as severly affected by the downturn tourism has continued which for the most part keeps our economy strong.

the problem is if you don’t work in the tourist industry, you would be having a hard time right now – thus my situation. thanks again enrico you’ve responded to me once before. it’s much appreciated. mahalo.
