We're not the only ones who have had to wait for our checks....check out this recent article in the NY Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/24/us/24unemploy.html

And just another comment on how "hard" it is to be unemployed and collecting unemployment. Losing one's job is considered a very serious life changing experience by most people who study humans. Right up there with divorce and other types of loss.

This is why the benefits are there - losing your job can be debilitating in many ways, not just financial. I agree, they should not be taken advantage of...but those of us who work hard and need help should not be lumped in with them. There will always be the "bad eggs". I wrote this article for the "good eggs".
