Federal Jobless Benefits
600,000 Americans exhausted all of unemployment benefits provided by the recovery act without finding work. As described by NELP's Christine Owens on PBS's NewsHour, HR 3548 will provide 14-20 weeks to these workers and hundreds of thousands more. NELP's unemployedworkers.org campaign provides the latest information on the debate over extended jobless benefits.
