Report away Big Boy. Don't ask questions if you can't handle the answer.
At this point I consider you a leech who steals money from the deserving unemployed. After nearly 2 years out of work you should be trying to find a job, well I guess you are within your strictly defined parameters of whatever made up rules you have, instead of whining about the potential loss of EUC. Which will happen sooner or later.
I might have more sympathy for you but I then look at people I grew up with now in their late 50's who, when faced with unemployment, will take any job offered, most consisting of manual labor.
Bob Corker interview covered by Politico: But he said there was no chance of a deal by the end of this week, because the negotiations weren’t focused enough on entitlement reform.
Hopefully, given how long the lack of a deal has been in the news, the vast majority on EUC have Plan B's ready to go. Corker in the past has consistently been a good source of info, due to his network of friends amongst all of the different types of Senators. And what is chilling, is there has been no GOP press release disputing his analysis.
The unemployment situation is honestly scaring me at the moment. I admit when I first lost my job for the first 6 months I was VERY picky about the jobs I would apply to and I didn't realize how bad the unemployment situation was.
After the first 6 months it began to sink in and I had a huge slap in the face and I woke up and realized exactly how bad it is. I would love to get any job and at the moment there's nothing beneth me anything is better than this worrying. The only benefit is I have tested and passed for the post office and for PG&E here so I am waiting for something to open, I tested for the DMV and I am waiting for my results I hope I passed.
I still need a "tide me over" job until something comes thru. Unfortunately I have realized I am not entitled to ANYTHING and I don't care if I what job I have as long as it is a stable job.

Seems like time goes so damm fast when you are not working. I remember it being February then all of a sudden I woke up and it was May. But time doesn't go that fast when you are working

No it doesn't. It's already the 18th, and it seems like thanksgiving was just a day or two ago. What the heck? I'm trying not to think about how close the 12/29 date is but I can only avoid reality for so long. I just want to work dang it!

Congratulations, accepting the reality you dislike is a huge step many never take.

I know it's not pretty but it's reality. I am spinning my wheels trying to figure out how to move and leave Ca. Employment has to be easier somewhere else . . .

Excellent. Being willing to relocate and adapt puts you in far better shape than most with similar lengths of unemployment. Insanity is the act of doing the same things again and again, expecting different results. If one has not found work in the regions and occupations they continue to seek work in, that would fit the bill of expecting new results from the same old, same old tactics. At least mentally you have prepared yourself to accept not using the old tactics, while expecting new results.
