As reported in the
attached article from Huffington Post, Congress is not scheduled to meet again until this Sunday, December 30. Unfortunately, by then federally subsidized long-term unemployment insurance will have lapsed - the extension period expires at Midnight on Saturday December 29.

It's a darn shame that Congress has not made this a more primary issue. To just let the extension lapse, without debate, discussion or public comment, is simply wrong.

Maybe a "miracle" will happen, but it is not looking good for the approximately 2 million people currently receiving these benefits. Moreover, there are millions more nearing the end of their state benefit period of 26 weeks who were, I am sure, hoping (and planning, most likely) that extended benefits would be there for them so that they would have at least another 6 months to find a job.
UPDATE:
Extension to be approved.
