My claim was filed on January 12, 2009 and I am NOT eligible for EB and am on the last tier of EUC |

How can you be on your last Tier of EUC if you started in January 09? Did you not get an initial full 26 weeks on your claim?
The reason I ask is that I filed in November 2008 and I'm just now starting Tier 4. By my calculations, you should still be in Tier 3. |

You're so right. I've had 4 interviews within the past six weeks. Before that, it was dry.
So yes, the market is opening up. I've been unemployed since the end of June 2007. All of my benefits are exhuasted including EB. I just received my last check for tier IV yesterday. Which was a very small amount.
As of this morning, I received an e-mail to start work tomorrow for a company 5 minutes away from my house. Geez, talk about timing. I'm so excited and nervous at the same time.
Stay positive, I'm the perfect example. This was the most nerve wracking experience I've ever been through in my entire life. In the end, there is hope. |

Congress gets their vacation. Nothing can get in the way of that. Bunch of losers.
