Economic Stimulus Bill Passes
The economic stimulus bill
signed into law by President Obama is effective as of
02/22/2009. All claimants eligible for and currently receiving
unemployment insurance (UI) benefits will receive:
- An additional $25 a week. The
$25 is added to regular and Emergency Unemployment
Compensation (EUC) benefit payments beginning the week
ending 02/28/2009. The $25 is not payable for weeks prior to the week ending 02/28/2009 and will stop when benefits are
exhausted.
- A tax break on the first $2400 of UI benefit payments
received in 2009. The first
$2400 in benefit payments is not considered
income. Claimants are responsible to report and adjust this
change to their tax liability at the end of the 2009 income
tax year.
- An extension on deadlines
to file and collect EUC benefits. The stimulus bill extends
the date by when claimants can file an EUC claim
(12/31/2009) and collect the balance on that claim
(05/31/2010).

Colorado is a great place to live and
work. At the Department of Labor and Employment, we want to ensure
that this continues -- and that means never taking Colorado workers or
the businesses that employ them, for granted.
We are committed to
both employers and workers by providing an up to date accurate picture
of the economy that helps in decision making; by assisting workers who
have been injured on the job or lost a job through no fault of their
own; by ensuring fair labor practices. And by protecting the work
place-and Colorado communities-with a variety of safety programs.
Businesses and workers
across the state are providing the intellectual capital, the energy,
adaptability and talent that will build Colorado as this century
progresses. The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment will be
there to help at every step on the journey ahead.
