Heller Supports Extension of Unemployment Benefits
U.S. Congressman Dean Heller, R-Carson City, today came out in support of the Emergency Unemployment Compensation Continuation Act (H.R. 6419) which would extend unemployment benefits for an additional three months.
“I continue to fight for Nevadans who are struggling to make ends meet,” said Heller. “It is not their fault that the economic policies of the past two years have failed to bring jobs to Nevada. Unfortunately, the Majority Party has repeatedly refused to pay for these extensions. There are ways to pay for unemployment benefits, and help the unemployed, without contributing to the deficit.”
H.R. 6419 would extend Federal unemployment insurance programs set to expire on November 30, 2010 through February 2011. These programs make available up to 99 weeks of total unemployment benefits per person in most states, including Nevada.
