COBRA Subsidy Set to Expire; Extension Not Seen as a Fix
Senate Majority Leader Henry Reid plans to address expiring unemployment benefits by extending a COBRA subsidy by two weeks. While those being unemployed see this as added time to finding alternative options, if still jobless by the end of the time period, unemployment office are urging a more longer extension. Seeing as benefits are processed on a weekly basis, that 15th day is foreseen as a serious conundrum to workers. Many offices have already begun sending out letters and without a more lengthy extension the plan is really being seen more of a hindrance than a help.
