They are talking about cutting extended federal unemployment benefits if a deal isn’t reached in the “fiscal cliff” discussions.

Here Is A Resource List if you need assisrance in the future:
First stop: Benefits.gov
Information about housing (www.unemployed-friends2.org/t4630-government-hud-homeless-assistance-programs)
The link in that informative list is broken, so go here. (http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/comm_planning/homeless/programs)
Homeless Shelter Directory (http://www.homelessshelterdirectory.org/)
Call churches to find all resources in your area. They know about food banks, emergency shelters, organizations that will help you pay your utility bills, and more.
Unemployment Lifeline has a lot of resource listings. (http://www.unemploymentlifeline.com/)
Call Feeding America. You can find food banks there. They are unfortunately closed for the holidays (I called to check), but you can also search for foodbanks on their website. Their number is 1-800-771-2303. (http://feedingamerica.org/need-help.aspx)
