I've also broke down and file for disability since I am actually disabled, but managed to find work where I could fit in and still be able to be a productive member of society and make a far better wage than what disability pays. It saddens me to see what our society has become. I have worked all my life basically, starting at the age of 14 working two part time jobs after school. It's a work ethic I've carried my entire life. It doesn't feel good not being able to work.

LOL... she said Cow Patty Express... then corrected herself with Tea Party Express. But seriously, I've followed this problem for a LONG LONG time. Bottom line is Congress and powers that be simply DO NOT care. They get paid for a lifetime, regardless of what they accomplish. If they were held accountable like we are in the private sector, many would not have a job.

Thanks for posting this video of how bad things really are and people being ignored. There are no jobs in Oregon. I was laid off in August 2009 when MSI left town to move to Arkansas for lower wages. No one will hire me because I use a walker due to no falt of my own being in a car accident. I hope this happens. The REAL unemployment rate here is 35-55% especially in call centers who have all moved out due to lower wages in other states and NAAFTA. Things are really really bad here in Oregon.

@Equalizer919 yep tier 4ers aint even going to get near till they lose benefit because they are scared of losing what little they got

[Equalizer919]

Im a 99er. It'll never work. Harsh, but true.

@secretbandmember2 I just logged on a minute ago, I am sorry for the confusion it was 99 weeks. I was out for about 18 months. Then I found a job, of course that ended. I re-opened the existing claim, or I should say the original claim. I collected the full 99 weeks. I did mail claims, then I went to call in claims.  As of three or four days ago there is no tier 5. They had two senators that were going to try. However they had little support. Now they are on Summer break.

@talltom1973 Thats good that your claim was re-opened even after you received the 99wks, Im sure that can still apply for me as well, but the guy I spoke too was going off on how I used my tier 4 the mail claim and he had to see if I collected 20wks, and then he told me to call back in 24hrs to find out, Im like uh the mail claim is state not Federal, this extension is for Federal..I also heard that this retroactive will just automatically be sent out to those who are eligible before a letter

[talltom1973]

@secretbandmember2 I was lucky most of the people I have dealt with have been professional. Of course now I have exhausted my benefits, so not dealing with them anymore. I was on this automated claim system, but that changed in April, and I had to call in and speak with a live person. Actually had real long wait times, then they told me a way to just punch in my number and they will return my call, Sometimes it was a day later, that is how busy they are.

@secretbandmember2 I live in Pennsylvania,which has been hit pretty hard. I received 99 weeks, I did work a few weeks in January of this year. I was replacing a guy that was training to become a printer. For some reason, he decided he wanted to remain in shipping, I even asked if I could train for the job he turned down. They said no, luckily my claim was re-opened with no real delay.
