The Senate finally passed the extension for unemployment insurance last week, and it was promptly signed by President Obama on Friday. The extension was originally passed by the House in September, but it had been held up in the Senate by Republicans. The extension will provide 20 additional weeks of benefits for unemployed workers in North Carolina. Some basic details are here, but more concrete information should posted on the Employment Security Commission’s site shortly.
