Nothing has been approved. It is still in the government sectors awaiting votes from the Senate.
The unemployment statistics used to calculate the unemployment rate, and thus, a State's eligibility for extended unemployment compensation benefits are inaccurate and resulting in not only the denial of Federal benefits to the State but also the denial of the individual unemployed worker to equal protection under the law.
The labor force components (civilian labor force, employed, unemployed and unemployment rate) as defined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics are set forth below:
Civilian labor force. Included are all persons in the civilian noninstitutional population classified as either employed or unemployed. (See the definitions below)
Employed persons. These are all persons who, during the reference week (the week including the 12th day of the month), (a) did any work as paid employees, worked in their own business or profession or on their own farm, or worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers in an enterprise operated by a member of their family, or (b) were not working but who had jobs from which they were temporarily absent because of vacation, illness, bad weather, childcare problems, maternity or paternity leave, labor-management dispute job training, or other family or personal reasons, whether or not they were paid for the time off or were seeking other jobs. Each employed person is counted only once, even if he or she holds more than one job.
Unemployed persons. Included are all persons who had no employment during the reference week, were available for work, except for temporary illness, and had made specific efforts to find employment some time during the 4 week-period ending with the reference week. Persons who were waiting to be recalled to a job from which they had been laid off need not have been looking for work to be classified as unemployed.
Unemployment rate. The ratio of unemployed to the civilian labor force expressed as a percent [i.e., 100 times (unemployed/labor force)]."
The State of Maryland does not include any unemployed worker who has received more than 47 weeks of extended unemployment benefits. In the absence of an accounting for these individuals, the unemployment rate for the State of Maryland as used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, cannot be accurate and has resulted in the denial of extended unemployment compensation to those unemployed workers who would otherwise be eligible of the unemployment rate were accurate.
What the difference between extension and hyper extension?
Extension and hyperextension are terms used to describe movements in joints. Extension refers to the straightening of a joint, increasing the angle between body parts, such as straightening the elbow or knee. Hyperextension occurs when a joint is extended beyond its normal range of motion, resulting in an angle greater than 180 degrees, which can sometimes lead to injury. Essentially, while all hyperextension is a form of extension, not all extension qualifies as hyperextension.
What is extension in the see technique?
In the SEE technique, which stands for Statement, Evidence, and Explanation, "extension" refers to the process of expanding on the ideas presented in the explanation phase. This involves connecting the evidence and explanations to broader concepts, implications, or real-world applications. By extending the discussion, it enriches the analysis and helps to reinforce the relevance and significance of the argument being made. This step encourages deeper thinking and a more comprehensive understanding of the topic.
Is Pennsylvania offering a tier 3 unemployment extension?
(Sept 2009) H.R. 3548 was passed by the US House of Reps and is waiting on the US Senate for a vote. After it passes it will need to be signed into law by the US President. Then Federal Tier 3 (additional 13 weeks which may be amended to 20 weeks by the US Senate) would then be applied to Pennsylvania and a few other states with highunemployment. The PA State congress already extended 7 weeks if you are waiting for Tier 3 from the Feds to kick in. I'm not sure about the other extensions by the State of PA but I think it begins at 13 or 20 weeks. Please check Google for more updates on all this. Thanks.
Personally I'm waiting another week longer for the Federal Tier 3 to be signed into law before I start the PA state version, which is a paperwork nightmare.
If the move was to a state not participating in the EB (Extended Benefit) program the benefits are only good for 2 weeks. See Item # 10 in the Related Link below for more details.
It depends. You might decide to, or you could list your area. I would advise you to go anywhere in your state. That way, you aren't likely to have to drive too far for the money to be worth it.
