I am not sure I fully understand what will happen if the congress
continues to refuse to pass the unemployment extension and would
appreciate an explanation..
As I understand it, the extension currently covers eligible unemployed
people for 99 weeks.The vote is not to lengthen the time period but to
maintain unemployment coverage for that length of time.If the extension
is not passed then the coverage falls back to the traditional 26 weeks.
So, what would it mean if the extension is not passed?Obviously someone
who becomes unemployed in the future will only be covered for 26
weeks.But what about people who have been unemployed for say 40 weeks—do
they lose their coverage immediately because they are beyond the 26 week
period or . . .
Said differently, what is the actual effect on currently unemployed
people who are receiving benefits but for less than the 99 weeks.
And, am I right that even if the extension is passed those who remain
unemployed passed the 99 weeks will be dropped?
Thanks for the help,
