Jan. 28, 2014 - In advance of
President Barack Obama's State of the Union Address, a group of House
Democrats led by Rep. Sander Levin (MI), ranking member of the House
Ways and Means Committee, held a press conference "to highlight the
need to extend emergency unemployment insurance." Each of the
members has invited an unemployed constituent as a guest to the State
of the Union address to highlight the issue. The Emergency
Unemployment Compensation (EUC) program expired on Dec. 28, 2013,
affecting an estimated 1.3 million people.
