    Gov. Patterson signed the extension. It will allow a total of 72 weeks of unemployment insurance to those who cant find jobs in this economy.

    NY currently pays a maximum of $430 per week. Under the current economic crisis, it has been extended from originally 26 weeks, to now 72 weeks.

    The maximum weekly amount of $430 is paultry compared to other states like Pennysylvania, the Carolinas, etc. Some states pay up $650 per week.

    See NY does it right, they pay you less on unempolyement so they can mold you into a welfare leach and then you'll have to vote DEM for life!

    Amazing...NYS actually pays LESS in public benefits, and you still find a way to bitch about it. Well, I guess I shouldn't find it amazing at all. Apparently (see below)

    What difference does it make itsa sliding scale. If you cant make it on $430.00 you got a problem. I bet the states you referenced are sliding scale also.A person making $52G might get $650but a person making 20 will Get $200. Again it comes down to the People expecting the Gubment to take care of you. I get Paid on a 1099 and If I loose that I get 0 unemployment.

    I have no problem with enempolyement seeing that a worker actually pay into and it's not really free money (you still have to pay taxes on it).

    Right. You don't pay any NY State Unemployment INSURANCE. Therefore, you get no benefits when you lose your job. Very simple.

    Isnt that like like getting reimbursed for a recent car accident you arent insured for, based on previously owned cars you had paid insurance for?

    I'm not saying that income from a 1099 should not be covered by U.I. But if you arent paying into the insurance fund, it seems reasonable that you dont get the coverage.

    And the amount paid by the employer only averages about $60 a year for each employee with UI coverage, after tax credits.
