Unemployment Extension Update  11/17/10:   Unemployment extension legislation has been introduced in the House.  The legislation, if passed, would extend the deadline for filing for federal extended unemployment benefits to February 28.  However, extended benefits legislation will need to be passed in both the House and Senate, which may be difficult, prior to approval.  The current extended benefits expire on November 30.

Unemployment Extension Update 11/11/10:  Legislation that provides an extension of federal extended unemployment benefits through November expires at the end of the month.  Unless another extension is passed there will be no extended benefits programs in place, except in some cases where those already collecting unemployment can move to the next tier of benefits.

The current unemployment extensions in place expire on November 30. Unless another extension is passed there will be no extended benefits programs in place, over 2 million unemployed workers will lose extended unemployment benefits, and the only unemployment insurance available will be basic unemployment benefits.

Here's an overview of which unemployment benefits are expiring, along with the impact they will have on the unemployed.
