Michigan Republican Gov. Rick Snyder has signed a law to cut off benefits for unemployed workers after 20 weeks instead of 26. While Michigan has maintained an unemployment level of more than 10 percent longer than any other state, it will soon pay fewer weeks of unemployment benefits than any other state. Other states around the country are considering similar legislation. Florida Republicans are seeking to cut unemployment benefits to 20 weeks as well. Some analysts suggest that number could drop to as low as 12 weeks if state unemployment falls to five percent or less. Meanwhile, in Arkansas, the State Senate has signed into law a bill reducing state-paid benefits by one week, while tightening eligibility. Indiana has also tightened eligibility for unemployment benefits and has capped weekly payments at $390.
