What they’re doing now doesn’t take it past 99 weeks. This only affects those getting over 26 weeks. If you’ve used the 99, it’s still over.
I don’t know why I’ve had to correct dozens of people on this on here, but people need to realize that this is only 26-99 weeks.

Because there is no stopping it. What guarantee do you have from a government that wants ANOTHER stimulus package after stating that the first one is the end all be all, that it won’t be extended again?

Unemployment funds come out of business taxes. Unemployment taxes are assessed on number of full time employees times a rate based on the business types turnover.
In some states and for some jobs the tax rate is over $1000 per month. And if we extend more unemployment benefits, the rates will go higher yet.
Businesses will think long and hard before they hire anyone when the next new hire costs them that kind of coin.
