The New York Times reports that the primary cause of new foreclosures is unemployment.

Nationwide unemployment is at 9.1 percent, and sixty-one percent of homeowners who received permanent mortgage modifications listed “curtailment of income” as their reason for applying.

Unemployment benefits may be the only thing standing between you and losing your home. Don't let your former employer deny you benefits that are rightfully yours.
