Extended unemployment benefits deadline extended for 30 days

The deadline for enrolling for extended unemployment benefits has been extended for 30 days.

The Senate voted Tuesday night to pass a one month extension which will provide unemployment benefits as well as health care coverage through Cobra.
The House already passed the extension and President Obama signed it it Tuesday night.

This bill does not provide any additional weeks of benefits for those that have ran out or are soon to run out of benefits, this bill simply extends the deadline for qualifying for the extended benefits programs that were already in place. This bill only helps you if you happen to fall between benefit tiers within 30 days of February 28,2010.

As of now there is no verifiable information about an extension of benefits for the long term unemployed.
