Where the HELL is my NY State Tax refund????

I Filed for my taxes on January 15th and received my federal 4 days later. I am still waiting for my state. As I search the web I find that most people are in the same situation. I don't understand why would the state think it's a good idea to delay funds from people who are in financial crisis mode. So many are unemployed and if they have qualified for unemployment the most they can receive in New York State is $405. a week. This is a fraction of what most of us are used to living on. Governor Patterson and the rest of the employed politician in Albany could careless that there are people struggling to survive and that their refunds (which were earned) are being withheld. So this bad situation is being made worse. I stmbled upon this link to an Albany News Paper which discusses the refund delay problem in New York State.

Times are hard...

It's the Saturday before Christmas and still more layoffs or layoff related issues. my cousin text me Thurs. evening to say he was just laid off and Friday is his last day. The Friday before Christmas. And if that wasn't bad enough a former employee at my job who was laid off almost 2 months ago filed for unemployment this past week. After applying the STATE of New York decided that would be a good time to audit him. Which turns out that he owes and has to pay his balance by January 9th.

I don't understand how in this economy why the State of New York would look for payment from someone who has lost their job and looking for assistance. What since does that make? Where do they think the money for payment is going to come from? After paying rent, electric and food there isn't any extra funds.

Let's hope that in 2009 more jobs will be available, which is the brain that my cousin is working out of.
