November 5, 2009 -- CONCORD – New Hampshire Governor John Lynch today applauded Congress’ approval of an extension of unemployment benefits for thousands of New Hampshire citizens.
The legislation will extend benefits for 14 weeks for workers in New Hampshire. The legislation originally only extended benefits to workers in states where the unemployment rate is higher than 8.5 percent. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen authored an amendment making the extended benefits available to workers in all 50 states.
“I want to thank Senator Shaheen for her leadership in ensuring these benefits will be available to New Hampshire workers,” Gov. Lynch said.
“We must do what we can to assist families through these difficult economic times, and extending critical unemployment benefits to men and women looking for jobs will make a big difference. I want to thank Senator Judd Gregg, Congressman Paul Hodes and Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter for their support of this important legislation,” Gov. Lynch said.
