Will those that collect Unemployment benefits in California be given a 13-week extension on them?

Question

I heard that a new bill or law was just passed to extend these benefits for 13 weeks in California, and other states. How true is this?

Answer 1

It's a proposal, and it's not expected to pass.

Answer 2

Call your Senators!

It was passed through the House but it's not expected to get through the Senate. And Bush has threatened a veto if it does.

Talk about absurd! He gives away $$$ to every household in the country bt then says no to the 5.5% of the population that need it the most!
