2010 Unemployment Extension: When Will I Receive Unemployment Benefits?
When Will Unemployment Extension Go into Effect? Find Out Here!
Finally, this week, the Democrats got their 60 votes for cloture (meaning the matter could be put to a formal vote). The H.R. 4213 unemployment insurance extension measure went to a floor vote on Wednesday, passing 59-39 (See voting records at OpenCongress.org).
H.R. 4213 News: When Will The Unemployment Extension Bill Go Into Effect?
Even at this juncture, the Republican-led minority held up the process of passing H.R. 4213 as long as they could, allowing their 30 hour debate period to fully expire before allowing the vote to take place. As if to say, "What's one more day to millions of Americans? So what if they like to eat or put gas in their cars. We have 30 hours of grand-standing time available, and by golly, we're gonna use it!"
Many are wondering when they will actually begin to see relief from H.R. 4213. Now that the bill finally passed, people want to know: when exactly will the unemployment extension go into effect? The answer is, there is no simple answer.
However, by President Obama's estimate on Friday, over two million jobless Americans will begin receiving extended unemployment benefits as early as next week with the passage of H.R. 4213. It may take up to two weeks for some to receive their extended benefits. Unemployment benefits will be extended for many until November 30, 2010.
The 2010 unemployment extension news comes as relief to many; however many more people will be sorely disappointed. No extension of federal unemployment benefits is outlined for "99ers", or others who have exhausted all possible tiers in their state. In other words, no tier 5.
The $25-per-week increase in unemployment benefits many expected was stripped from the legislation to appease Republicans and cut spending on the issue; so, no extra cash. Healthcare cuts, including COBRA assistance for out-of-work Americans, were also made across the board to control spending on the 2010 unemployment extension bill.

Post a Commentwell today is the 7/30 and nevada is still waiting... no one seems to have answers. wait ..... oh there is a letter to see if we are still eligible. wtf
Thanks for the update.
Very good story!!
I have been waiting for this to pass.
You know, we can't help it that our economy is bad and there aren't jobs for us! It really stinks!
To really put the knife in Americans backs..they let our one source of income lapse. Now the bills are on hold as well. So much for any credit score!!
I'm so glad to live in America, but sometimes the politics just go over my head! I can't understand how they can let americans suffer just so they can make their point.
I was taught as a child that two wrongs don't make a right!!!
Good report.
I going to hump a goat now.
If you dont have a D behind your name when i vote I wont vote for no Republicans
i am ui recipient... im also one the statics that is without benefits... republics need to come to the table and negoicate... there has been too many important bills this year, that they have just dragged their feet... these are life and death situations to millions of people... i just don't think they have an sense of ergency at all!! how do we have all these senators in office that have no clue what it is like to be at the bottom? no one of them understand the situations millions of americans are in... they give millions to bail out the banks... but they had to think twice about helping middle america, who put them in there high paying positions! not to mention, those our tax dollar!! i know im not the only voting american that feels this way...
When is anyone's guess.
i am an ui recipient, im an american...ppl dont always agree, we are all our own thinkers...but it just looks bad when ppl publicly attack our president, no matter if its bush2 or obama...have some tact ppl!
nice work on this!
