Hawaii governor OKs added unemployment benefits

By Associated Press

HONOLULU (AP) _ Governor Lingle has acted quickly to authorize a 13-week extension of federally funded unemployment benefits.

The authorization was announced yesterday, just three days after President Bush signed legislation providing for the extension. It requires people to have worked for 20 weeks in order to be eligible for the extended payments.

People who lost their jobs through no fault of their own had been able to collect 26 weeks of unemployment insurance benefits.

Although approved by Congress and the president, each governor must authorize the use of extended benefits for his or her state.

An estimated 37,000 people in Hawaii who are potentially eligible for the extended benefits are to receive notices from the state Department of Labor and Industrial Relations.
