With all the talk of the looming "fiscal cliff" that the country is facing at the end of this year, politicians and the media are paying precious little attention to the real, dire financial cliff that millions of U.S. workers and their families will face if Congress fails to renew the Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) program before the year's end.

If Congress fails to reauthorize the EUC program, two million workers receiving federal unemployment benefits will be abruptly cut off after the benefit week ending December 29.

Nearly one million more workers will run out of state unemployment benefits with no access to federal EUC by the end of the first quarter of 2013. In all, more than five million workers will will be unable to collect federal UI benefits next year if Congress fails to act.

With 40 percent of the unemployed looking for work for six months or more, it is imperative for Congress to put partisanship aside and come together to reauthorize EUC for 2013.
