What’s new from Congress

Jobless benefits extended

President Obama signed legislation on July 22 providing six additional months of jobless benefits for the long-term employed. The Unemployment Compensation Extension Act of 2010 (HR 4213) provides up to 99 weeks of unemployment benefits to individuals who have exhausted state unemployment assistance.

The bill will extend for six months the unemployment benefits of 5 million eligible workers, including retroactive payments to 2.5 million workers who had benefits cut off when the money ran out in June. The cost to taxpayers is estimated at $34 billion.

“I like the way they think. They gather and digest data, present options in a clear, precise, logical, methodical way. Their answers are solidly based. We also like their ability to handle complexity. We’re both a library and a museum, with investments that include real estate, money in trust, earned income, donor activity and investments.”
