Ok they restored benefits on July 22nd in the Evening when the president signed the bill. Michigan is saying it may take up to 2 weeks to get the system updated and everyone paid. I have finished the second tier and should be moved to the third but my account as of today still says I have zero weeks left after the 34. Has anyone gotten their benefits yet? I tried calling several times today and couldn't get through to an actual person. I need money!!! They are about to take my car and I am 2 payments past due and only one left after that before it is paid off.
Another story of unemployment through the eyes of a 58 year old...
Finding yourself unemployed whether male or female at this age can be a world wind of emotions, fear and uncertain times. Being as my generation should be retiring at this age we find ourselves empty alone and searching for a reason to get up in the morning. Facing weight gain, gray hair,wrinkles and not enjoying the reruns on TV. Children if you're lucky enough to have any really don't need you anymore and are too busy trying to find their place in the world.
This is, bar none, the most emotionally intense and confusing period of my life. I spent the last year sorting out my issues, trying to figure out how to make enough money to pay the bills, trying to repair my marriage.
THIS JUST IN….
Really smart analysts believe recipients of last week’s unemployment benefits extension are sure to go out and buy things. That’s right, you correctly it read: unemployed people desperate to pay for water, rent, and Ramen noodles are expected to stimulate the economy.
