WTF?! all the fuss about getting legislation passed before the 4th of July recess only to come back and act like nothing happened? they haven't mentioned the unemployment extension at all... I thought it would be priority #1 for Democrats since they used it to bash Republican opposition. I guess it's all politics and we're just pawns. I truly dislike Republicans but I do admire their power to get **** done, whether it's good or bad, at least they do things with their power. F'ing Democrats can't even convince 1 of their own to push a necessary bill. I know Republicans should be blamed for this but they should also mention Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson (NE) whenever they criticize those who oppose it. Maybe shedding more light on that douchebag would bring him to his senses.
Welcome to our wonderful government at work.

So true, I'm in despair about anything ever changing for the better with our government.
So long as Americans live under the illusion that there are 2 seperate parties instead of one, which will only do what is best for them, nothing will ever change.
I think I just got the answer from the Ny unemployment website....
SCENARIOS
In addition to the 26 weeks of regular unemployment insurance (UI) benefits (plus one unpaid waiting week), an additional 73 weeks of benefits are currently provided under the Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) program and the Extended Benefits (EB) program. Each program has different deadlines and, as a result, not all claimants are eligible for the full 73 additional weeks of benefits. Please note that the breakdown provided below is based on timelines/deadlines stated in the current federal legislation, which may change in the future. Also, benefits under EUC Tiers 3 & 4, and under EB are available only when the 3-month average TUR (Total Unemployment Rate) meets required levels (see chart of TUR required levels below).** Currently, the (Mar, Apr, May) TUR in NYS is 8.5%.
so basicly even if the bill is pass, the unemployment rate in NY will have to be at 8.5 for the " Tur", ( a.k.a EB benefits) to extend the cut off dates on the EB benefits. Current unemployment rate in NY is 8.2
Maybe when Census workers star being lay off from their temp jobs the unemployment rate may go up
Damnnn we are screww
You are incorrect. NY is still eligible for Tier 3 (needs to be 6% or more, not 8.5 - 8.5 is for Tier 4).
Tier III o 13 additional weeks of benefits in states with an insured unemployment rate of at least 4 percent or a total unemployment rate of at least 6 percent
o This is the previous Tier II (prior to the November extension) • Tier IV
o 6 additional weeks of benefits in states with an insured unemployment rate of at least 6 percent or a total unemployment rate of at least 8.5 percent
This may be short-sighted, but is it possible that some in Congress don't want to extend benefits because they know that 200,000 census workers would then be eligible for the tier system too? Then again, after their 26 weeks expire, it would be past Nov. 30th, so I guess that wouldn't make sense.

my post was for EB benefits, which comes after all the tiers.
If extended, the last week of my Tier 3 will be the week ending 11/27. Does this mean I will be able to go to T4 (if PA triggered).?

November 20th is the cutoff for those who will be moving to T1 from regular benefits.
To move to T2 or T3 or T4 - cutoff date is November 27th.

i posted this in another thread but i dont want you to stress yourself over it, so ill post it again here:
Program TUR
EUC Tier 3at least 6%
EUC Tier 4at least 8.5%
EB Regular (13 weeks)at least 6.5%
EB High (7 weeks)at least 8%
thats straight from the website. so if the average rate was 8.2, new york just wouldnt qualify for tier 4, presumably people would just move from tier 3 to EB........ BUT the unemployment rate is based on 3 month averages, so you can disregard the 8.2 average (for now). the total unemployment rate was 8.5% from march to may and that what new york would go with until another 3 month interval passes
