Anyone who is currently receiving extended unemployment benefits ( beyond the first 26 weeks funding by the state) If congress does not pass funding by Dec. 13th before they take recess for holidays, there will be no extension benefits paid after Dec 31st !!!
Here are the extended Tiers
Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) Tiers for 2013
Tier 1: 14 weeks
Tier 2: 14 weeks if the state unemployment rate is 6% or higher
Tier 3: 9 weeks if the state unemployment rate is 7% or higher
Tier 4: 10 weeks if the state unemployment rate is 9% or higher
In the case of NJ we are slightly below the 9% UE rate at 8.4% so there is no tier 4 either way for those who exhausted tier 3.
I am looking for people to attend an special agenda NhN meeting at River Edge Library tonight at 7 pm if you are in Tier 1 or 2 or very early stage of Tier three.

Please email me if you will be able to attend.
