The "99'ers" will now be known as "155'ers" with the 13 month extension.

Where are you getting your information?

It is 99 weeks max, and that is only in high unemployment states.....all others max out at 79 weeks.

"Where are you getting your information?

Several articles I read earlier were saying "a 13 month extension for long-term unemployed" (Like this one)

Now I am seeing other articles that say no extension for people in "Tier 5"...so I am not sure what is in "the deal" now...I have no direct experience with the "Tier system"...maybe someone can help out?

Another article that mentions "Tier 5": http://www.aolnews.com/surge-desk/article/unemployment-extension-clears-filibuster-whats-next-for-99ers/19561601
