But you were at least getting weekly unemployment benefits until this past October 2. 1993. You had even managed to not think about how to pay the taxes that come due on unemployment benefits next April. The House. after putting aside serious concerns of the Hispanic Caucus and others concerning methods of payment that would adversely affect immigrants of Hispanic origins. finally voted to extend unemployment benefitsemergency benefitsthrough next Febmary. Not very long--but at least more weekly checks to tide families over until another daya day beyond Thanksgiving and Christmasso that they could hope to have a few pennies left over to celebrate during the holiday season. too--celebrations that the rest of us take for granted. But even after the House votedmore than 3 weeks agothe Senate tacked onto the bill a nongermane amendment. mandating the reduction of the Federal work force by 252.000 by 1999.
