To fight the recession, Congress has added four tiers totaling 53 weeks of federally-funded benefits, called "Emergency Unemployment Compensation," to the 46 weeks of benefits made available by states.
 
The most definitive statement about Tier 5 has come from Sen. Tom Coburn, the Oklahoma Republican who in the name of deficit reduction obstructed the most recent effort to reauthorize the existing 99 weeks of benefits.

"We have 99 weeks of unemployment compensation out there right now -- and we're gonna move that to 103, and then we're going to move it even further," Coburn said in March.
 
Congressional leaders declined to comment on adding weeks.
