Unemployment extensions - 99ers - Any Updates?

[OhioFiler]

Extending unemployment indefinitely turns it into what we have historically referred to as welfare. Unemployment insurance was never intended to pay beyond a relatively short term.

I don't see it happening...sorry. Mine ran out a year ago so I do feel your pain.

Like many others, my unemployment extensions will be running out next month. I know it is a little early for the politicians to begin bringing this up, but I am wondering if anyone has any updates on legislation, media conversations, etc.

I am really scared as the GOP is harping big time on making cuts to the budget in many areas, so I have the feeling this is leading up to them not wanting to offer any extensions to the unemployed, especially 99ers.
