They said on the news that it was 13 months, not 13 weeks.

From the way this story reads, it sounds as though the 99ers will get extensions, thats what I'm reading.....
That wouldn't be the first time the media reported on UE extensions wrongly. I've seen nothing that extends the LENGTH of the current EUC extensions - that would require at least an additional EUC Tier.

That does not mean it will be an additional 13 months for those already at the 99 week mark. Some conflicting information on what if anything is happening to those at 99 weeks.

The 13 months is moving the deadline for when someone can move from one tier to the next tier level of benefits. As of now anyone who finished their tier level after the end of November could not move to the next tier level of benefits. The tier levels were, the original 26, 46, 60, 73, 79 (only available in states above 8.5%) followed by another 20. If you ran out of your tier level after the end of November, you could not move to the next tier level and would be capped at that level.

For example someone who reached 26 weeks of benefits this week, would not be able to move to the next tier level and would be capped at 26 weeks. Same thing for someone reaching the 46 week plateau this week or the 60 week plateau and so on, they would be capped at that level as they could not move to the next tier after the extensions ran out.

The 13 month thing is right in the story, I would think the story has been exhaustively fact-checked.
I would bet that there will be an additional tier when this whole thing shakes out.

The 13 months is the deadline to be able to move from one tier level to the next. Its unclear yet whether a tier level would be put in place beyond the 99 week mark.

You know, that's REALLY offensive - MOST unemployed are already looking, but thanks for the advice.

I can just as easily say MOST are milking the system in one form or another.
