OK, I don’t know this for sure, but it’s a holiday weekend and I can’t check with State Controller John Chiang. And unemployment checks are definitely aid given to “the needy.” From the Mercury News:
Controller John Chiang, who is responsible for managing the state’s cash flow, plans to delay $3.7 billion in payments starting next month in response to lawmakers’ failure to fix a projected $40 billion deficit through mid-2010.
Among those who won’t get paid on time: taxpayers who file their returns early and are awaiting refunds; families who depend on welfare and aid for the aged, blind and disabled; and programs that serve developmentally disabled and mentally ill patients.
Well, those of us relying on unemployment are dependent on it, so does that include us? Such a quandary!
