From Chairman Mike Bullock: Congress finally passed a bill extending Unemployment benefits to the end of November on July 22, 2010. Republicans held up this funding for two weeks while many General Motors laid off employees were without benefits. Now that it has passed, laid off employees can apply for the extended benefits. What this has done for many of the GM laid off employees is left them without unemployment benefits or sub pay. Now that it has passed it will take several weeks for both the unemployment and sub to catch up. Any questions can be directed to benefits at 636-327-2112 or 2314.
