I have been unemployed for almost 12 months. My current claim has already been extended once (runs out in 2 weeks) and I haven’t received any notification to date for eligibility for State (Nevada) Extended Benefits.

Are they going to extended Federal funded unemployment and if so when would start.

Thank you

I wasgetting unemployment comp. until I was honest to the Government,I was signing up online beforethat due to cut backs@ work. anyhow the one question was are you able & available for work no I wasn’t able because of corpol tunnel however I was available for work, So i said I was not able there is no sepret question, are you available for work which is STUPID because no you can’t work your normal Job but if you had you could go in for light duty, I just think that the Government could specify themselves and ask the questions. Instead of assumeing. What was that old saying? Any how , My Wife is on dissability & has been since I worked @ Sealy 14+ yrs. ago . Now here is the Lodgic I worked that many years for one Employer, and with the way the economy is today, because of that question, these People think I quit or just don’t want to work witchEmployer told them that wasn’t the case. yet they held off paying me since 11-25-08. Thank God the money My Wife gets pays our rent, However our light bill is almost $1′000.00 plus all the other bill’s keep adding up you try to explain this to them, and it don’t matter.I think something should be done that you could explain what your trying to explain to them instead of Someone Assumeing. Is there something anyone could for me Christmas is comming up, no money. Unemployment’s doing there thing. work is still working on workers comp & nothing yet, Thank God for P.W.D they could not help with money asst. but they did give us $156.00 in food stamps, since we had no food since Thanksgiving. like I said no money comming in,bills keep adding up our elect. is on the verge of being cut off on 12-29-08. no money for gas to go anywhere, Famialy did all they could do our people don’t have anymore.So Please anyone from Government HELP.

I have been unemployed for almost 2 years now. I had a small construction business. Since the housing economy took a dump, I have been out of work.I apply for more than 3 jobs per week. I applied for EDD and I get $80.00 every 2 weeks. I have 2 daughters, spouse, mom and dad living together. How am I supposed to survive and feed my family? If there is any way I could get Federal Assistance to get a stable job or some extra financial help, please help me. I am highly qualified in the construction feild. Please help me ………Any body !

change to an LLC on January 1, 2009, are there any forms, which I must complete.

Please advise. Thank you, Mr. Cardillo

In our state is is REQUIRED that you keep a job log of places, names, phone #’s where you looked for work. They supply the form. Make sure you actually fill in this form and keep it available….at some point you will MOST LIKELY be asked to provide your listing!!! If you can’t provide it, they have the right to make you repay some of your benefits as it is a requirement that you look for work AND keep the record.

I found our local office very easy to work with and most polite!
