99 weeks is enough time to get a two year A.A. degree. WTF?
You really just can’t keep paying people NOT to work! I understand a reasonable time, but even during economic hard times, money does run out. It does have to stop sometime - and really, 99 weeks is a really long time...

Who funds the extended benefits?
