Did that routine for 4 years , made good money but the paper work is endless and I got overwhelmed. Guess time will tell for Us All.
I don't know about Pennsylvania, but Ohio has instituted the new extensions. It was in our paper with in the last week. I don't know if it's up to the states to determine if and when they implement it or if it's countrywide. It's worth checking into though if your that close to the end of benefits.

Wow, I was going to mention that I've been out of work since just after Christmas (and right after having to buy a new freakin' engine for my car, mind you) and I'm still unemployed, but you now have the dubious distinction for current longest joblessness. I wish you the best, Rainbow, and everybody else in our situation.
I'm saddened by this post, so many bright people without work. I can truly say that I completely understand.

True, but I want to bounce back before I hit the bottom and that isn't going to be very far down the road here.
