Lost unemployment last June, lost my 20yr job June of 2008, I am 60 years old and viewed as too old to hire, still have a mortgage and a daughter in school, I have to have med insurance for her as well as myself. My husband is retired and on a fixed income, we are in real trouble keeping afloat.

This ISNT going to be a tier V, it will be a supplement to tier 1, it would add 14 weeks to tier 1. Cross your fingers…
