Furloughed federal workers can collect unemployment benefits - May. 29, 2013
The example in the link has an employee that earns over $100K a year. The ability to collect unemployment is only for certain fields, unions, and job descriptions.
My husband who is also DoD, earns FAR less ($35K) and will not be allowed to group his furlough days in one week. |
Your example, one state, is from PA. which is considered by many to have the most lenient regulations of all the states.
I don't mind the gov't cutting back as has most private businesses.
My problem is that the DOD CANNOT move money from one place to another, as the FAA finally did,
Most of us know the disdain most dems have for the DOD.
The individual worker should NOT be used as a pawn by Obama.
