That is the mandatory retirement age for the National Guard and to keep my Federal job, I have to belong to the Guard. So I lost two incomes. My credit rating is going down the tubes which affects my job prospects. What a mess. I am now going on my seventh week waiting to get unemployment compensation. The only thing I did was turn 60.

There truly is a mess in Jefferson City and people like me who need these monies to live are in dire straits with debtors who don't want to wait till the problem is repaired in the state's computer sytem. An article should be put in the newspapers or on the television.

However, it is important to note that the unemployment tax rate only applies to the first $12,500 of wages in Missouri, not to the entire amount of wages earned. The federal unemployment tax applies only to the first $7000 of wages, I believe. Admittedly, the state unemployment system is a mess.
