The Wisconsin Senate has scheduled committee hearings this week to take up a law change that would allow for 13 weeks of federally-funded extended unemployment benefits in the state.  With Wisconsin’s unemployment rate above 7%, these benefits would serve as a lifeline for those who are unable to find work.
The Wisconsin Budget Project recently published a one-page fact sheet on unemployment benefits in Wisconsin.  Click here to learn more about what is currently offered to those looking for work and why the legislature should act to draw down the additional 13 weeks of extended benefits.
