Based on the definition, I would say until he finds a job.

12/14/2011 8:41:02 PM

unemployment benefits i should say.

12/14/2011 8:41:41 PM

99 weeks, and it's a bunch of BS that it lasts that long. Total disincentive to get back to work.

12/14/2011 8:42:35 PM

I asked him the other day "any leads? anything lined up?" - flat out - nope - not even tryin'

12/14/2011 8:43:12 PM

well he will have to try and apply to at least 2 jobs per week

if he gets called into for a review, they will ask him for detailed paperwork on his job search and applications.

if he cannot supply that information then he could possibly lose his benefits

I got it for a few months from Virginia

I had to put in information about where I had applied for jobs, etc and report it weekly

I guess people can flat out lie about applying for jobs and stuff, though, to keep it going

Why would you try?

the government needs an unemployment program, sure, but almost 2 years is freaking rediculous. I might think on extendinng it past 6 months only as supplemental income. For instance if you grab a job doing something out of your field i would vote to continue paying you. Just hate the people who are doing nothing...

^^^ I was receiving unemployment for the better part of 2 years and I never got called in once

honestly, all of the people I know who have been on unemployment have never been called in

wow so he won't need a job until 2013? jesus fucking christ.

12/14/2011 8:52:25 PM

And this is why America sucks now.

Unemployment lasts as long as most members of Congress are continually re-elected, thus hampering any sort of economic recovery.

12/14/2011 9:03:32 PM

and libbies wonder why I don't like unemployment?
