Digital News Report – President Obama signed the Unemployment Extension Bill H.R-4213 into law on July 22, 2010. The unemployment benefits extension was held up for a long time as the US Senate debated how the government was going to pay for the additional benefits. Those that had their unemployment run out at the beginning of June will get retroactive reimbursement for their unemployment benefits. The benefits are scheduled to be paid out through November 30, 2010.

This extension will not be helping those unemployed people that have received 99 weeks of unemployment benefits. The new law did not create a fifth tier for the unemployment extension.

Each state needs to review the new law and it may take a couple of weeks to implement. The unemployment benefit recipients should keep updated by their state’s unemployment office to see if there is anything they need to do to receive the retroactive funds.
