Well my unemployment runs out this week. Hopefully I will qualify. I have been paying into for all these years, hopefully it will be available when I need it, like now.
Best of luck. Ignore the ignorami here.....they haven’t a clue.
I worked helping veterans at a state unemployment office for about 15 years: Unemployment Insurance (UI) is paid for by employer taxes. The employee doesn't pay into it.
I hate to tell you, the extension isn’t an extension of what you have been bringing in, it’s $25 a week. My husband got so mad he broke something when he slammed the paper on the table. He felt horrible, but I understood his sentiment. He’s worked at the same place for 27 years and he feels screwed.
Unemmployment is an insurance program where the premiums are paid by the employer, not the employee.
