Just saw this mentioned on Fox News. Its the only source on the Web I can find ATM.

IIRC this is the second State claiming such problems with Unemployment Insurance Payouts.

If they’re having problems now, just wait!
Obama said it could take years to fix the financial system.

I guess I should expect a sharp increase in the unemployment insurance rates. (OH)

I wouldnt be surprised if other states soon have similar problems with their unemployment fund

Scary thing is that if employers have to cough up more money...then there will be more job losses

Question: what happens when the Federal government ultimately runs out of money to bailout the states and meet its own entitlement payments?

"But, the state tells Ozarks Fox the federal government will allow it to borrow up to $260 million dollars for the unemployment fund through April."

What happens after April?

No worry, Claire is some kind of insider in Obama’s circle. (I think she swabs the toilet)

Things are reportedly so bad in Missouri that, except for the first time filers’ phone line, the Missouri Department of Labor has simply quit answering the phones on Tuesdays and Thursday in order to try to find time to catch up on the backlogs of paperwork.

My neighbor (who was out of work 2 months as of mid December) told me he would stop looking for work during Christmas to spend more time around the house. He liked the ability to get things done. On February 1st I asked how the job hunt was going and he told me he was in no rush as unemployment benefits were being extended again. His wife chimed in “I figured with a few cutbacks in what we spend, I could stand to lose my job as well and we can still make our house and boat payments with what we would get from unemployment insurance”.

Other than a bump around 2000-2001, unemployment has been very low for almost 20 years. Did states lower their premiums to match a lower baseline of unemployment rates, or did they just piss away 20 years of surpluses?

“IIRC this is the second State claiming such problems with Unemployment Insurance Payouts. “

There are several states that have been collecting federal money for unemployment insurance payments because their money ran out. The MSM just tries to keep it mostly hush.

What happened to all the employer contributions for unemployment during the GOOD times when unemployment was low?
As an employer I paid about a 6% tax on payroll to unemployment, plus another 1.5% to the feds every year.

When the times were good, the state was raking in the cash.
suddenly they are broke? Where did the money go? Where Where?? No savings for a rainy day????
amazing........but never surprised that government wouldn’t save anything.

They should simply borrow from the Missouri State Employees’ Pension Fund.
