Temporary federal extensions? - weatherhorse - 3/11/2003 - 12:20:34 PM
I am hoping I will not have to use the temporary federal extensions. But my UE runs out at the end of the month. If I need to, how do I go about finding information and applying? I never thought I would be unemployed this long or need this option. All help and advice is appreciated.
 
Re: Temporary federal extensions? In - RCY - 3/11/2003 - 12:20:34 PM
GA you can exted on line or over the phone. Each state has thier own rulesso you may want to call or go to the UE office.
 
Re: Temporary federal extensions? IL? - weatherhorse - 3/11/2003 - 12:20:34 PM
How about in IL? Any info?
 
Re: Temporary federal extensions? IL? - RCY - 3/11/2003 - 12:20:34 PM
Start here and look around http://www.ides.state.il.us/
 
Re: Weatherhorse, I live in IL - CIS77 - 3/11/2003 - 12:20:34 PM
when here is over-saturated numbers of unemployed IT/IS professionals. What you can do is, go to IDES or call to inquire about unemployment extension (13 weeks). Just started myself for second year (13 weeks), never thought that job market will be so bad for so long.
 
Re: Temporary federal extensions? - Sailfish . - 3/11/2003 - 12:20:34 PM
I do not understand the "hand out" mentality some folks on this board have.


Now you want/expect an EXTENSION on top of what you already received?????

Dickless--he is entitled to that money if his state participates.
 
Re: Temporary federal extensions? - Mrs.Miggens - 3/11/2003 - 12:20:34 PM
And Fish, read my rebuke of your voter participation below.
 
Re: Temporary federal extensions? - weatherhorse - 3/11/2003 - 12:20:34 PM
No I do not want a hand out! I hate being unemployed! What makes you think Sailfish I gladly sit at home and wait for my check to come?! Huh? What? I hate being a burden to everyone I know. I had plenty of interviews and recinded job offers due to lack of work or lost projects. I had three job offers/possibilities but they were lost due to lack of work, funding, weather, etc. I have done networking, internet, papers, cold-calling. Every viable option I have I used. So you tell me, I am a lazy person sitting at home eating ice cream and watching TV? Trust me on this, I have never as depressed as I am now. My fiance has prevented/caught me trying to kill myself. I have always been proud of working hard and acheiving what othes could not and would not. I did not quit my last job or fired. I was laid-off along with 20 people who worked hard and kept clients coming back to us. I had very loyal contractors who requested that only I work on their site. DO NOT JUDGE ME on what you read from my posts online. I keep myself upbeat because it keeps me going. Are you happy now?
 
Re: Temporary federal extensions? - Mrs.Miggens - 3/11/2003 - 12:20:34 PM
weatherhorse,

Don't let Sailfish get to you. He's an annoying little turd on this board that everybody holds in contempt.

 
Re: Temporary federal extensions? - EBlaeuer - 3/11/2003 - 12:20:34 PM
It's no hand-out. Check your paystubs. We all paid into unemployment compensation while we were working.

Re: Miggens... almost correct - weatherhorse - 3/11/2003 - 12:29:18 PM
Trust me, I earned my UE. Last project I was on I was harassed by the superintendent. Boss pulled me off once I told what was happening. My old company actually pulled out from the project due to that. Other techs did work there but could not stand him. So I earn that blood money. My blood, sweat, tears, laughs, smiles, BSing, pulled leg muscle and back sprain, sprained wrist. I'm just a walking ache.
 
RCY, thank you for your help. I will be - weatherhorse - 3/11/2003 - 12:29:18 PM
notified in the mail when my money is almost gone and when the extension start. Apparently, I still have alot of UE left.

EBlaeuer - jmt - 3/11/2003 - 12:29:18 PM
employers pay for UE insurance - not the workers
 
Re: EBlaeuer -  *QC*   - 3/11/2003 - 12:29:18 PM
There is a deduction from every employee for Fed and State Unemployment....

 
Re: EBlaeuer - Mrs.Miggens - 3/11/2003 - 12:29:18 PM
Delos and I had this debate a while back. I think it depends upon the state you are in. Since Georgia and Virginia are states where Carl has worked, I can assume that employees DO pay into the program. The same is true for Pennsylvania. I don't know about other states, and based on his (meaning Delos') previous postings in this regard, I surmise that New Mexico doesn't deduct from the employee's side.
 
not in my state . . . from the - jmt - 3/11/2003 - 12:29:18 PM
state dept of licensing and regulation website:

"Unlike some other government assistance programs, unemployment insurance is just that - insurance. No deduction is made or has been taken from a worker's paycheck to pay unemployment insurance benefits. The entire amount is paid for by the employers covered by the (state)Unemployment Insurance Law. An unemployed worker who files a claim for unemployment insurance benefits is a claimant. "

 
I just checked websites for a dozen - jmt - 3/11/2003 - 12:29:18 PM
or more states - all say that employers pay into the UI fund, not the employees - several indicated it is illegal to take a deduction from a paycheck for this funding

where are you getting your info, QC?

 
from the VA employment commission - jmt - 3/11/2003 - 12:29:18 PM
The Virginia Employment Commission (VEC) administers
an unemployment insurance program which provides
protection against loss of wages to individuals who become
unemployed through no fault of their own. Benefits are paid
through taxes on employers covered under the Virginia
Unemployment Compensation Act. No part of the cost is
deducted from your earnings.
 
Re: I just checked websites for a dozen - Mrs.Miggens - 3/11/2003 - 12:29:18 PM
Again, it is a State program (not Federal; I think it's entirely employer sponsored at the Federal level). Legality would be addressed at the state level.
 
Re: I just checked websites for a dozen - Mrs.Miggens - 3/11/2003 - 12:29:18 PM
jmt, will you check PA please?

Thanks.

 
Re: EBlaeuer -  *QC*   - 3/11/2003 - 12:29:18 PM
Sorry, if I am incorrect... You may want to check with someone who has legal training in employment law for every state for the definitive answer.... -Carl
 
Actually Mrs. Miggins, it IS a - jmt - 3/11/2003 - 12:29:18 PM
Federal Program, which is administered at the state level. one of many types of federal legislation left to the states to enforce.

do a google search on pennsylvania unemployment insurance and it will bring up the site you need.

 
Re: Actually Mrs. Miggins, it IS a - Mrs.Miggens - 3/11/2003 - 12:29:18 PM

Pennsylvania

Beginning January 1, 2003, a 0.02% contribution will be deducted from EMPLOYEE wages, as required by a statutory "trigger mechanism" which adjusts employer/employee SUI taxes to prevent the Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund balance from getting too low. While employers regularly contribute to the U. C. Trust Fund, employees have not been required to contribute since 1996

There are others too I believe. I agree with QC's admonishment to consult real legal authority. I also agree with jmt's (strained, but correct point) that states administer the program (could of sworn I said that, but if not my apologies).

NJ employees pay out - EBlaeuer - 3/11/2003 - 12:29:18 PM
I'm in NJ and have always had unemployment insurance deducted from my paystubs. And of course, the employer pays out as well.
 
found this link: - jmt - 3/11/2003 - 12:29:18 PM
http://workforcesecurity.doleta.gov/unemploy/uifactsheet.asp

says that three states require minimal employee contributions, the other 47 are entirely employer funded

If a few more people would just check the available resources rather than babbling on and on with their uninformed opinions, this ridiculous arguing wouldn't drag on and on.
