Anyone receive their extended benefits or updates yet in Michigan?

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.

58 AND LOOKNG

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.

Update on the state of my marriage...

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.

Unemployment benefits will stimulate the economy

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.

Kinda weird

Ok, I don't know if this was one of my good ideas or not, but on a sado-masochistic whim, I went to my previous employer's Web site and found a posting for a job, in a totally different dept, that I am very well qualified for. So I did the online app and skill tests, and I have an interview tomorrow. My thought is better the devil I know....

99 and out of luck!

Please don't forget the 99ers. As we move forward in this uncertain economic future, humanity and social kindness is going to be tested. Us 99ers are not the cause of this dilemma... we are victims of a system gone mad with greed and deception. Maybe some of the company CEO's and High level management that were bailed out will be willing to share some of the billions of dollars from their bonuses they didn't deserve. In these troubled times it is criminal and unconstitutional to turn a blind eye on people that worked, voted and paid taxes when things were good and everyone lived in excess.

Recession cutback city - Even the rich people are doing it!

Recession cutback city - Even the rich people are doing it!

Wealthy people have been doing the spending with the economy needing to be stimulated. Even those who have many money have quit spending money casually, reports the New York Times. The American economy has come deadly close to halting as noted by the Federal Reserve. Another stimulus could possibly be around the corner with the economy getting any worse.

Wealthy spend, jobs created

Denied Job Due To Medical Debt

Tuesday 7/21 I had a job interview in Seattle, the big city that I had only been to once since I made a big move from Arizona to Washington state last fall.

I was a RockStar in Phoenix. When I lost a job, I had another one by the next week. I worked in the mortgage business so it was pretty standard for companies to close and new ones to pop up down the street. That was prior to the big meltdown that has taken a huge toll on all of us over the past couple years...but that's another story.
