25K in Ga. Lose Jobless Benefits
(AJC) — For 25,000 Georgians who are out of work, the last check is in the mail. For tens of thousands more, that day is fast approaching. Congress has not acted to extend federal unemployment benefits beyond this week, so, week by week, more unemployed Georgians will see their financial safety net disappear as their current benefits run out. Georgia Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond expects more than 25,000 people statewide to stop receiving benefits next week, unless Congress approves an extension. By the year’s end, 84,400 Georgians may lose their weekly unemployment check, according to the U.S. Labor Department. Nationwide, about 2 million people are expected to stop receiving checks in December.
