Extended unemployment benefits are set to run out this week for 17,000 laid-off workers in North Texas, curtailing biweekly payments that have kept many in their homes and casting a pall as the holidays approach. Unless Congress solves a partisan deadlock, by Jan. 1 about 35,000 people in Dallas, Collin, Denton and Tarrant counties will lose their federally paid benefits.
