Fed Unemployment Extension

Around twenty percent of the Federal unemployment extension budget enacted by Obama & Congress this year is adjusted to the trigger notices implemented to each tier in 2012.

We send out catalogs to those who request them or anyone who has placed an order in the last year. We also advertise in the back of another period of compensation by the government. Needless to say, telephone sales are truly the lifeblood of the regular 73 weeks of benefits. As of late, however, I've been wishing that weren't the case with Congress.

The remainder of extended benefits this year has what I would call, the absolute most annoying hold message ever produced. As seen on the local news, unemployed workers can now be eligible for four tiers of unemployment, but not the 5th tier. These tiers are strucured in great detail in the Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) plan.

One day the senate decided that instead of the regular benefits plan implemented in 2011, they would make the latest new update with the new extension of compensation this year. Those who have exhausted the remainder of their benefits can go for an additional 73 week period of unemployment benefits. In fact, most days find our sales reps on the phone from the time we get in until the time we leave. As you might guess, with such a high volume requests for the unemployment benefit extension, Congress acted on the bill.

When Congress finally reached an agreement with President Obama, I would estimate that about thirty to forty percent of them did not want the maximum benefits extension in the State of Texas. The other sixty or seventy percent proposed an entirely different stimulus than the year prior. There were many 99 week unemployed workers who few who were offended by it, thinking we were trying to make fun of those with the new benefits calculations for the Texas unenployment extension.

The thing is, almost everybody has something to say about the hold ads. The Fed update of the extension benefits in the United States has extended while reducing the voluntary maximum benefit period. Since our boss is a really great guy, my co-workers and I are less than amused on one hand, yet highly entertained on the other. My only problem is that while most of my colleagues are spread out over a huge office, my cubical is right next to the boss'. I have to keep a straight face during some fairly good impressions.

We all miss the EUC trigger benefit notices from before.
