This is bad, bad news for a lot of folks.

I just got a letter saying that due to the sequester my Tier III Emergency Unemployment is ending May 26th. They are saying the 7 weeks is reduced to three weeks. I live in Florida. Fortunately, I am starting a job on May 24th which is remarkably lucky timing for me. I sympathize with anyone who was counting on Tier III.

Typical of Rick Scott.

An article on the Internet says the state's aging computer system cannot make changes to the amount of benefits as other states are doing.
