Due to reforms in the states unemployment insurance laws, North Carolinas 71,000-plus long-term unemployed residents will lose access to the federally funded Emergency Unemployment pensation (EUC) program.North Carolina is losing eligibility (资格) to the federal program because of a new law, signed by the governor in February of this year, which reduces the number of weeks that unemployed people are eligible for state-funded benefits and cuts the maximum weekly benefit amount by roughly one third, from $535 to $350.“I think these cuts substantial,” said Michael Leachman, director of state financial research for the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.As of Monday, July 1, North Carolinas joblessness will be able to collect state unemployment benefits for up to 19 weeks, but not the 26 weeks that is the national standard. And after that, they wont have access to the federal funds available in every other state.Leachman said, “Its less than half of whats available in any other state, including states with much better economies. It es at a time when more than one half of the unemployed in North Carolina are already using up their state-funded benefits before they can find a job.”Republicans in the state have defended the cuts as a necessary measure to reduce the states $2.5 billion debt to the federal government. The state originally borrowed that money in order to fulfill its unemployment insurance obligations (债务) to jobless residents. Under the conditions of the loan, the federal government has been gradually reducing tax credits (减税额) for North Carolina businesses over the past few years, effectively increasing their tax burden. Local business interests such as the North Carolina Chamber of merce hope that repaying the loan will make it possible to once again lower taxes on private industry. “This solution will protect our small businesses from continued over-taxation, ensure our citizens unemployment safety net is secure and financially sound for future generations, and help provide an economic climate that allows job creators to start hiring again,” Republican Governor Pat McCrory said in a statement released on the day of its signing. But in sacrificing EUC eligibility, the state is leaving about $600 million in free federal money on the table, said Leachman. “Thats money that would have gone into the state economy and mostly be spent locally,” he said.51. According to the unemployment insurance reforms, the jobless in North Carolina will .A. enjoy no unemployment insuranceB. find new employments more easilyC. guarantee no personal safety netD. have fewer unemployment benefits 52.
