No.
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.
No. Unfortunately, the Senate Republicans blocked its passage.Update: On 6/24/2010 the Senate defeated the bill so Obama could not sign it.
Yes.From CNN's Political Ticker blog, "The House of Representatives passed a bill Thursday pushing back the deadline to file for extended unemployment benefits to the end of November. The $34 billion measure, which cleared the Senate Wednesday, now moves to President Barack Obama's desk to be signed into law"See related link.Yes. The newest Senator pushed it through a Senate filibuster.

Congress cannot pass laws that favor one state over another. The goal of Congress is to pass fair and lawful laws.
I've run of benefits about 3-4 weeks ago, so i have been looking for as much information about the 4th unemployment extension...So Far the House of congress passed the extension.. Its now up to the senates to pass the bill. Supposedly they're gonna vote this week (Sept 28 - Oct 2). I hope they vote soon because i still cant find any work and I'm running out of money to even put gas in my car to drive to an interview...You can also stay updated on these websites...http:/www.unemployedworkers.org&http:/projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/?nid=roll_housesenvote
