I was reading the paper today and noticed that the House of Representatives passed a 26 week unemployment benefit extension for people in training. Now Congress must pass the legislation (which may be problematic as this will raise the amount of money business must pay to the employees unemployment benefits fund). I also noticed that according to the article that if passed this would not go into effect until next year.

Hello,
Everybody that is laid off and collecting unemployment that goes back to school President Obama will continue your benefits through out your training. At least that is what he said today on television today! Check out the following website:
First, since Ronald Reagan, financial aid is not free money for school, but LOANS!!
Pell Grants maximums have been lowered since Ronald Regan so that you can only make 10 thousand dollars or less to qualify, with FEW exceptions.
Lastly, the worker retraining program are for people who need retraining, usu. targeted to people whose jobs have gone the way of the Buffalo or never went to school, or never finished school or never got a bachelors or masters or don't have a vocational degree with job growth.
There is no extra money, besides the worker retraining programs which were started by Clinton but receiving renewed support by Obama.
He is just stating the obvious, which anyone who has visited their One Stop Career Center, which all people looking for JOB, should obviously do, would already know about this program!!
cheers
