Extension Could Help 10,000 Idahoans

Item: Unemployment extension could benefit 10,000 jobless Idahoans/Brad Iverson-Long, Idaho Reporter

More Info: Congress is on the verge of extending federal unemployment payments to out-of-work Americans, which could benefit up to 10,000 Idahoans whose benefits have expired in the past six weeks.  The extended federal benefits ran out at the end of May, and the Idaho Department of Labor’s Bob Fick said those people could see payments from those past six weeks within the next month, if they still haven’t found work.

Question: Do you know anyone who is on the verge of running out of unemployment benefits?
