I received my original 26 weeks of unemployment and then was given I assume my first extension of 20 weeks. It's up on June 6th so I have been told unless the HR 4213 UI Extension is not approved my unemployment will end since I'm no eligible before 6/2/10. I mean I will not be given any more benefits while others have been given up to two years of UI. That sucks for me!!! That's this government. I've d emailed and called my House Representative and was told the HR 4213 UI Extension will be presented to the House soon. That was over a week ago and its still a waiting game. Whats awful is I'm the main income of my household. My husband is working two temp jobs and we are barely making it now. I can't believe being a middle class person in the US is now changing. I feel I'm in a kids game when the kid who owns the ball changes the rules in the middle so they won't lose. Here is what is happening to me.

I am so confused by this entire process. I am on UI Fed Tier II which should be worth 14 weeks but somehow North Carolina is operating on a "whoever filed first basis" for funding so i am only receiving 13 weeks. I understand that this is the end of the road as far as federal aid is for me since my UI benefits will not exhaust until after the April 5th date. I am not sure that I am eligible for Tier III (13 weeks) should I not find work so I am ready to lease out my home and seek employment elsewhere (i.e. Denver). I would love to find work and leave this entire process. It is a ghetto. Thanks again. Suzanne Lambert Thank you for helping with the explanation of the current ruling.
