EUC Fix responsible for FluidNow?

Emergency cash loans are needed by thousands of Americans who are living off of emergency unemployment benefits because of job loss during the recession. Employers haven’t started to hire as easily as the government would have hoped, and hence extension of benefits has become a hot-button political issue. The website FluidNow, or www.fluidnow.com, is a website where more than 100,000 residents of Florida who are considered to be “long-term” jobless can get additional benefits. FluidNow appears to be not so fluid for some although numerous claim they have used the website just to have their expired benefits restarted again.

FluidNow needs to move faster to serve customer base

The answer you will get when calling fluidnow’s 800-204-2418 is a pre-recorded “call back later” message, as outlined by an unemployed individual in Florida. Eventually the intrepid citizen reached an AWI employee who had no information on whether they’d be eligible to receive an extension of unemployment benefits. The only reassurance Florida residents have received most recently on this front came from AWI Director Cynthia Lorenzo, who claims that once the U.S. Department of Labor sent fluidnow guidance, payments would be issued. When that guidance would come – two weeks, as Lorenzo suggested, or some other interminable governmental interval – was uncertain.

Fixing things with EUC

Many unemployed people are looking at getting loans or getting a part time job to help with their money issues. Some of the time this is not enough still. Plus, there’s fear that the benefits already being received would shrink upon signing up for part-time work. There could be some hope with the Emergency Unemployment Compensation Fix. The emergency unemployed benefits are part of the extension that Congress passed most recently, according to Michigan’s MLive.com. The point is to “remove the disincentive for people who take part-time jobs while collecting benefits.” Struggling citizens would not have to fear having their benefits reduced in their second year of benefits, reports the Michigan news portal.

EUC Fix won’t help those within the past

The National Employment Law Protection explains that the EUC Fix can only work if your benefits ended after July 22, 2010. Those who don’t fit that window are out of luck, much like scores of Florida unemployed who are waiting on fluidnow or at least some form of instant cash loan. Going to the National Employment Law Project site will help you get more information about the EUC Fix.
