Rob Peter to Pay Paul (or whatever your name is)

Did you know that if you are a government employee and you get furloughed, you may not be receiving any retroactive pay?  Tough luck, right?  Not so fast!  You may be eligible for temporary unemployment insurance! 

Check your local state regulations on the subject for further information.  If you're in Maryland, you can go here:

That's right, if the Federal government won't pay you, take it from your local government!  It's likely corrupt anyway.
