Changes coming for unemployment benefits

April 5, 2012 By WRN Contributor

After this Saturday, the federal extended benefits program will be ending in Wisconsin. The state Department of Workforce Development says it’s all due to the continued improvement in our unemployment rate.

The state’s three month average seasonally adjusted rate fell to 7 percent in February, meaning Wisconsin no longer meets the federally required threshold for the 13 week program.

The state was notified of the change last month, posted the info on their website, and send out notifications to more than 7,700 people. After this week, the number of weeks you can collect benefits from 86 to 73.
