Unemployed till Sept. 19 | 6:12 p.m. Oct. 28, 2009

My unemployment ran out in September. They had to wait until October to get the unemployment numbers that would reach 6%. They told me it would be retro active, but now they say it will not be in effect until Nov. 8. That will not help me for the month I did not receive any money. It should be retro, as September was the month it was high unemployment. This is not fair as they aren't paying people for the 5 weeks they should be eligible for.
