New tax law: What does this mean to you?

Unemployment benefits will be restored for millions of Americans as Tax reduction Barack Obama signed into law on Friday. Sylvia Kittrell Orlando, Florida, is not among them.

A worker Social unemployed for over two years, she is one of hundreds of thousands of people who are not using the new law because they have exhausted all benefits available to them.

"No. I have money," said Kittrell. "Everything is gone."

In 24 states with unemployment rates of 8.5 percent, the unemployed can receive benefits for 99 weeks. In other states, receiving less than 99 weeks – in some cases as little as 60 weeks, according to the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities.

The new law restored by 13 months, maximum of 99 weeks. However, it provides more benefits to persons who have reached their limit state. Those who have exhausted all benefits are sometimes known as "99ers" although the duration of benefits varies by state.

The legislation renews the federal programs that extend beyond 26 weeks benefits offered long-states. The federal program had expired on November 30.

The Labor Department said he does not know how Americans have exhausted their unemployment benefits. However, the number and reached hundreds of thousands.

In California, 5,000 unemployed use their benefits extended by one week. And 274,185 Californians have reached 99 weeks of benefits at the end of the year.

Florida 105,011 people lost their benefits, Nevada, 27325. In New York, 125,284 people without work have stopped receiving unemployment checks have run out because their help.

New Yorkers who have exhausted their unemployment benefits tend to be higher as unemployment continues to receive: Trent percent are aged 55 or over, compared to less than 22 percent still receive benefits.

And more than 48 percent of New Yorkers do not benefit more women are receiving. That compared to 43 percent of unemployment benefits they receive.

Many more people could join the 99ers. Job losses peaked in January 2009. Those who lost their jobs, then in the depths of the recession, will soon lose their benefits if they have not found work or do without the help now. The number of people claiming benefits for the first time reached a peak of 651,000 in the week ending March 28, 2009 – 94 weeks ago.

Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., In August introduced legislation that would help the 99ers at the end of 20 weeks in states with unemployment of 7.5 percent or more. But his bill went nowhere in a Congress that was reluctant to spend more federal money to lift the economy.

"They need to be addressed," said one supporter, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas. "They are next to homeless people. They are people who have overcome the wall without any fault on their part."

There are people as Kittrell, who missed unemployment benefits during the summer. Without the check of 224 dollars a week of unemployment, Kittrell received coupons food and occasional contributions from his mother aged 84 years and his adult son.

She said her job search was unsuccessful. Employers potentials are saying she is overqualified. Their savings have disappeared. She is about to be evicted from his apartment.

"It the worst situation of a human being can be, "said Kittrell, who turned 58 on Thursday." What should I do? Continue to pray. I still pray for a miracle. "

Among the relatives of the end of his maximum of 99 weeks of benefits is John Wilson, 55, an engineer from Valrico, Florida, which has lost his $ 58,000 per year, in February 2009. Since then he has collected about $ 544 in benefits every two weeks of unemployment. It's not even enough to cover his mortgage of $ 1,200 per month.

Having no savings, Wilson empties his retirement account.

In a state with unemployment at 12 percent, Wilson said: "It's not like I'm not looking There are jobs out there .."
