| Mass. Requests Federal Credit To Cover Unemployment Benefits By MONICA BRADY-MYEROVPublished February 8, 2010 UPDATED 3:36 PM SHARE: COMMENTS | E-MAIL | BOSTON — Massachusetts has asked the federal government for a loan so that the state can continue to pay unemployment insurance to the more than 300,000 Massachusetts residents currently receiving benefits. The request is for a line of credit from the U.S. Treasury Department to borrow up to $250 million. The funds would cover the state’s cost of unemployment benefits for February. Just as the state asks to borrow money, Gov. Deval Patrick says he will not raise unemployment insurance taxes to make up for the shortfall. A 40 percent increase was set to take effect in April. Michael Widmer of the Massachusetts Taxpayers Association says freezing the rate will not cure the problem of the state’s very high cost of unemployment insurance. “Freezing the rate for 2010 is a stopgap action,” Widmer said. “It doesn’t address this underlying problem, the cost of unemployment insurance for Massachusetts employers.” Widmer says the state is not getting any advantage from paying higher benefits for a longer period of time than other states. |

| dan g - 2/8/10, 5:35 pm |
| Yea Evan you're recession-proof. That's a new one. |
| mykecameron - 2/8/10, 5:38 pm |
| nothing they do now can effect your tax return for LAST YEAR guys. you already paid / were taxed
amounts for an entire year that is now over. unless you're talking about the tax return you will get NEXT year, in which case anything could happen. |
| mykecameron - 2/8/10, 5:42 pm |
| oh wait i'm an idiot, i get what you're saying. regardless, i doubt this will happen, but maybe just file your taxes asap. i already got my 3 dollar refund. woooooooo |
| omar - 2/8/10, 5:45 pm |
| haha, i had been waiting to e-file mine, but did the second i saw this thread. |

| on the upside, when california issued IOUs, i think they paid 3% interest or so, which is more than
you can get at any bank these days. they also were able to pay back the money within 6-12 months
(they're trying to chase down the last people now, because they become unpayable after 2 years or
something). in california, select banks i think also accepted them for cash, i think at face value (no discount). |

| Kyle - 2/9/10, 3:33 pm |
| 7-11 probably can't pay for a mortgage, yet would destroy your unemployment payments so you couldn't pay your mortgage at the end of the month, therefore defaulting your loan and sending the banks ina frenzy at which point our government has to print fake money and give it to them but instead of giving back houses, they just buy jets |
