Unless state lawmakers take action by March 24th, unemployed workers in Michigan could lose up to 20 weeks of unemployment insurance known as “Extended Benefits.” The federal government now covers 100% of the cost of these benefits for non-government employees. Thanks to federally funded Extended Benefits, over one billion additional dollars flowed into Michigan since the recession started—benefiting unemployed workers and businesses alike. Nearly 250,000 of us, our friends, family members, and neighbors have counted on these benefits (an average of $284 per week) to put food on the table and a roof over their heads.
