Will there be another unemployment extension for 2009?

Will there be another unemployment extension for 2009?
As of right now, no there is not. Some states with exceptionally high unemployment rates have triggered EB(Extended benefits) for up to 20 weeks - this might be considered a Tier III extension. Most people that are on this will expire before the end of summer. The people that have been unemployed since early 2008 are in the worst position - no jobs and extensions to run out!

Congress should pass another legislation for a Tier VI extension before they go on vacation this August 2009. It is desperately needed as unemployment continues to rise. Where are the jobs??
The tally is in. H.R. 3548 passes by a 98-0 margin. It now will move back to the House, which is expected to take up the bill quickly.
