111-205, P.L. 111-312, P.L. 112-78, and P.L. 112-96). This report
contains five sections. The first section provides background
information on unemployment compensation (UC) benefits. It also
provides a brief summary of UC benefit exhaustion and how
exhaustion rates are related to the business cycle. The second
section provides the definition of a recession as well as the
determination process for declaring a recession. It also provides
information on the timing of all recessions since 1980. The third
section summarizes the legislative history of federal extensions of
unemployment benefits. It includes information on the permanently
authorized extended benefit (EB) program as well as information on
temporary unemployment benefit extensions. It also includes a brief
discussion on the role of extended unemployment benefits as part of
an economic stimulus package. The fourth section provides figures
examining the timing of recessions and statistics that may be
considered for determining extending unemployment benefits. The
fifth section briefly discusses previous methods for financing
these temporary programs. In particular it attempts to identify
provisions in temporary extension legislation that may have led to
increases in revenue or decreases in spending related to
unemployment benefits.
