Feeling crunch of a high jobless rate : Home: The Buffalo News

The day Erin Mahoney-Lamb found out her job as a paralegal had been eliminated, the news came that her husband's extended unemployment benefits were being cut off.

Early last month, 9,300 laid-off Western New Yorkers found their federal unemployment benefits abruptly cut off after Congress adjourned without approving an extension. A temporary measure to extend emergency unemployment benefits to the jobless — beyond the typical 26 weeks and up to 99 weeks — expired June 2. Efforts to reinstate the benefits stalled when Senate Republicans blocked a bill to continue the payments.
