A 99er Tier 5 Unemployment Extension Debate Continues Amid Primary Elections

[Joanne98]

All 99ers are trying to ensure that a Tier 5 unemployment extension is on the agenda of candidates for office. The unemployment extension tier 5 movement continues in the wake of primary elections. The debate will continue all the way until the mid-term elections and beyond.


With only a couple of months before the final votes will be cast, keeping an eye on who is for and against the Tier 5 extension is of utmost importance.


Right now, the GOP will likely stalemate efforts to pass the bill that has been proposed by Debbie Stabenow, unless it pays for itself in some miraculous way.


The Senate won’t even be back in Washington to discuss the bill until at least September 13, and it’s unlikely that it’s the first thing on their agenda.
